PARIS: Owkin, the first end-to-end AI-biotech unicorn that provides best-in-class AI-driven precision drug discovery, development and diagnostics, has announced its expansion into the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) following partnerships with nine of the top centers in the region, including Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV), Universitätsspital Basel, Technische Universität München (TUM), Uniklinikum Erlangen, Universitätsklinikum Leipzig, Inselspital Bern, Universitätsklinik Mannheim-Heidelberg and Medizinische Universität Wien. These collaborations signify unparalleled representation of patient populations, representing 24% of all outpatient cases and 15% of the total patients in the DACH region.
Guillaume Bézie, Director of Partnerships Western Europe: “The Western Europe network covering France, Benelux and DACH represents the largest pool of centres for Owkin. Partnering with top academic institutions is an inevitable asset for our expansion strategy, and we are delighted to showcase the ability to significantly increase our footprint in the DACH region. By capturing the diverse landscape of human health, we empower our AI to better address the unique needs of all individuals. With our partners, we are fully committed to accelerate the secondary use of multimodal patient data for the purpose of giving the right treatment for each patient.”
By analyzing vast datasets and identifying complex patterns across the nine hospitals, Owkin will use its AI engines and diagnostic tools to improve patient outcomes in Prostate Cancer, Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC), and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This will enable researchers to discover novel biomarkers, predict treatment responses, and develop more effective therapies tailored to individual patients.
In addition to advancing research towards more personalized treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer, MIBC and CVD, Owkin has also expanded its MOSAIC network, a global initiative to build the world’s largest spatial omics dataset in oncology with 7,000 patient samples across 7 cancer indications, bringing on Uniklinikum Erlangen, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) to accelerate research across numerous therapeutic areas.
Dr. Philipp Mann, Principal Partnerships Manager Switzerland, Germany and Austria (DACH) said: “The healthcare system across the DACH region is an invaluable asset because it offers an extensive repository of reliable, comprehensive health data that can guide drug discovery and development strategies. The collaboration between Owkin and these institutions enhances the use of this data, driving innovation and fast-tracking medical advancements. With the combined expertise of these partners, the data can be transformed into actionable insights used to revolutionize patient care and improve health outcomes.”
