Description:
At Sage Bionetworks, we work to redefine how complex open biological data is gathered, shared and used. Our work includes the building of platforms and services and undertaking research developing predictors relating to health. Arising in 2009 from a donation by Rosetta Inpharmatics (Merck Inc), we are a non-profit research organization based in Seattle, US and collaborate with a worldwide network.
We create technology platforms that facilitate collaboration on data, governance platforms that enable data sharing and reuse, run challenges to solve complex biomedical problems, perform our own cutting-edge computational biology and research, and run large-scale clinical observational studies of health.
Financial Info:
We operate as a non-profit with grants from state and federal agencies, subcontracts with other grantees (as a cloud service provider), grants from charitable foundations, and contracts with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (in which we take the right to deposit data in the public domain rather than a profit).
