Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, today announced its participation in almost 1,500 research projects in just the last ten years. This milestone highlights Tempus’ ongoing commitment to accelerating scientific discovery and delivering data-driven insights that improve patient outcomes.
Since its founding in 2015, Tempus has partnered with leading academic institutions, community health systems, and biopharma organizations to drive forward cutting-edge research and advance precision medicine. Leveraging its AI-powered platform, Tempus offers one of the most comprehensive suites of solutions supporting both clinical and therapeutic research. Notable contributions include:
- Tempus has enabled critical advancements across a broad spectrum of initiatives including approximately 1,000 biopharma research projects and almost 500 provider-led research initiatives through its diagnostic portfolio, de-identified multimodal dataset, and biological modeling capabilities.
- Diagnostic assays that have generated clinically-relevant insights across more than 200 projects.
- Tempus’ biological modelling lab has supported approximately 65 research initiatives, advancing understanding in areas such as therapy selection and drug discovery.
“From day one at Tempus, our mission has been to empower researchers with the data and insights they need to drive better outcomes,” said Eric Lefkofsky, Founder and CEO at Tempus. “We have made significant progress toward that goal by delivering at a scale few others have achieved. While we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, we are even more excited about the opportunity to exponentially expand our impact in the years ahead, as new and emerging artificial intelligence tools are allowing us and partners to unlock insights from the data we have aggregated at an almost unimaginable scale.”
“When I was recruited to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2018 to build a global precision oncology program, I was struck by the forward thinking and visionary leadership of Eric and his team at Tempus. Their premise that they were not just a tumor sequencing company, but also a data company, really resonated with me and what we wanted to accomplish at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center,” stated Ben Park, MD, PhD, Director of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. “Our resulting collaboration these past seven years has been enormously successful. Since partnering with Tempus, we have been able to offer our patients state-of-the-art diagnostic testing that is unparalleled, and simultaneously we leverage this data, as well as Tempus’ database, for research that addresses unmet needs in cancer care.”
