What is Manifold?
Manifold is the Enterprise Agent Platform for Life Sciences, an AI-powered platform that connects clinical, genomic, and real-world data in a governed environment built for AI agents to query, reason, and act on it without data ever leaving your cloud. The platform automates data preparation, tool setup, and analysis while enabling seamless collaboration across teams and institutions, helping life sciences teams move from question to insight in minutes instead of months.
Key features include Agent OS that automates 80% of R&D work by interpreting scientific intent and preparing datasets, specialist agents for data ingestion/preparation, cohort/query agents that build and slice across billions of clinical/genomic records in plain language, and analysis agents that run biostatistics, survival analysis, and bioinformatics pipelines end to end. The platform includes pre-configured tools like Jupyter, RStudio, Python, R, and nf-core pipelines, AI-powered data harmonization, natural language interfaces for data exploration, role-based access with audit trails, and deploys to your private AWS cloud.
Manifold is specifically designed for biobanks, registries, pharma companies, research organizations, cancer centers, and life sciences R&D teams who work with complex multimodal datasets including clinical records, genomic data, biospecimens, 'omics, histology, and real-world evidence. It serves organizations like Foundation Medicine, Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at IU Simon Cancer Center, and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Frequently asked questions about Manifold
What is Manifold?
Manifold is the Enterprise Agent Platform for Life Sciences that connects your clinical, genomic, and real-world data in a governed environment built for AI agents to query, reason, and act on it without your data ever leaving your cloud. It automates data preparation, tool setup, and analysis while enabling seamless collaboration across teams and institutions.
Where does my data live?
Your data stays in your AWS environment. Manifold uses Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) deployment, so you own and control your data. The platform runs securely in your cloud and keeps data exactly where it is without moving it between systems.
What compliance frameworks does Manifold support?
Manifold supports HIPAA, IRB & BAA readiness with architecture designed for clinical data from the ground up. It also supports SOC 2, GDPR, TX-RAMP, and NIST SP 800-171 compliance frameworks that matter for life sciences.
What types of data can Manifold work with?
Manifold works with clinical, genomic, and real-world data including 'omics, histology, biospecimen records, EHR data, genetic sequencing, and imaging data. It handles fragmented, multi-format data without requiring cleanup or restructuring.
How fast can we get started with Manifold?
From agreement to active data access takes days, not months. In 30 minutes, Manifold can show you what agents actually do on your data and what it would take to get there. Production-ready deployment happens in weeks, not quarters.
What agents does Manifold provide?
Manifold provides data ingestion and preparation agents that context-engineer datasets, cohort and query agents that build and slice across billions of records in plain language, analysis agents that run biostatistics/survival analysis/bioinformatics pipelines, and configurable specialist agents built to fit your organization's specific workflows and roles.
What tools are pre-configured in Manifold?
The platform automatically configures tools teams depend on including Jupyter, RStudio, Python, R, and complex bioinformatics pipelines like nf-core. Researchers can run end-to-end analyses without leaving Manifold or maintaining separate systems.
How does Manifold enable collaboration?
Manifold provides a unified, governed environment where internal teams and external partners work together with shared context and secure access. It removes data silos and fragmented permissions, enabling fast, safe scientific exchange within small teams or across global consortia.
What is the measured impact of using Manifold?
Customers report query turnaround reduced from weeks to minutes for biospecimen and clinical data, up to 100x faster cohort identification from multimodal oncology data, pharma partner queries reduced from days to minutes on white-labeled multi-omics platforms, and production-ready deployment in weeks instead of quarters.
Who trusts Manifold for their life sciences work?
Top life sciences teams trust Manifold including Foundation Medicine (Senior International Product Manager Brian Clancy), Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at IU Simon Cancer Center (Dr. Anna Maria Storniolo), and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (President Todd Golub, M.D.). The platform has 50K+ registered users, 1.5M+ unique study participants, and 150+ terabytes of multimodal data.
