About Origin
We produce patient-derived cancer datasets for licensing to pharmaceutical and AI companies. Our data comprises matched spatial transcriptomics, H&E and clinical labels. We operate our own laboratory, where samples are processed. Samples are sourced from leading biobank / hospital networks. As R&D workflows increasingly rely on frontier AI systems, we believe there is critical need for real world datapoints so that findings translate in the clinic.
