Manifold (manifold.ai) is a cutting-edge AI-powered platform specifically built for life sciences and clinical research, enabling teams to ingest, harmonize, analyze, and collaborate on massive multimodal datasets (clinical, genomic, imaging, etc.) without manual drudgery. Founded in 2016 and backed by $40M+ funding (latest $18M Series B in Dec 2025), it’s trusted by top institutions like Broad Institute, Foundation Medicine, and cancer centers. In 2025, with AI agents that handle natural language queries and automate workflows, Manifold turns months of data prep into minutes—accelerating drug discovery, biomarker research, and precision medicine.
Key Features (2025 Edition)
