Tempus AI, Inc., a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, announced a collaboration with The Abrams Research Center on Neurogenomics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. This multi-year collaboration aims to harness AI for rapid discovery and innovation in Alzheimer’s disease research.
The collaboration leverages Tempus’ AI-powered data analytics platform, Lens, to analyze and restructure the Center’s repository of genomic data. Together, the Center and Tempus teams will work to uncover genomic patterns that have the potential to advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, investigate the gene and cell types affected, enable the development of new therapeutics, and accelerate the creation of novel clinical applications. By harnessing Lens’ advanced AI capabilities, the collaboration aims to generate actionable insights that drive the discovery of targeted therapies and significantly improve patient outcomes.
