ABOUT US

Transform­ing global health one clinical trial at a time

Platform Life Sciences aims to continually modernize clinical trials through its global network while supporting local economies. We want to create a future where drug approvals and clinical trials are modernized, accessible, and equitable.

We have founded Platform Life Sciences to scale adaptive trials and establish revolutionary new methodologies.

We believe that by creating a platform centred around populations in emerging economies (more than 50% of world population) and perpetually recruiting patients, Platform Life Sciences can jump start clinical trials, modernizing the industry and changing global health dynamics. We are heavily leveraging technology and data infrastructure, so our global network will have high-tech tough and efficiencies not typically observed.

Creating a platform across geographies with diverse patient populations, through deeply funded partners allows us to also create a meshed data network for health information. We are in a position to access and create a free flow of health data that can assist researchers and biopharma companies in developing drugs and treatments on a global scale.
