Upcoming event

The Scariest Numbers in Drug Development: A Mavatar Science & Halloween Soirée

An afternoon on better decisions in drug development, with a scientific deep dive by our CRDO, Danuta Gawel and a panel with Ann-Sofie Backman, Sobi and other industry speakers. Food, drinks and music to follow, and costumes are welcome.

What we do

Disease biology, read from real human data

The same disease is driven by different biology in different patients. Mavatar maps that biology from millions of human tissue and cell samples. Drug developers use it to choose targets with more confidence, researchers to find what the literature hasn't, and clinicians to understand which treatments are most likely to work. Read more about our publications and validations.

  • 20+ years of research
  • 25+ disease models
  • State-of-the-art machine learning

Mavatar Discovery changes how we approach the early stages of a research question. Instead of relying solely on what we can generate in our own cohort, we can immediately explore how our findings relate to the broader biological landscape - across diseases, tissues and datasets.

How it works

From public transcriptomic data to a disease model you can trace

Every Mavatar disease model is built the same way, from data found in the public domain, and every result can be traced to its original source.

  • 8M+ transcriptomes available
  • 185M single cells
  • 45+ pre-computed networks
  1. We collect public gene-expression data from thousands of studies. Every sample is annotated by tissue, disease and technology, then quality-checked and normalized.

  2. DINA, our network framework, combines hundreds of independent datasets for each disease or tissue. Two genes are linked only when they are consistently co-expressed across those datasets. The network shows relationships that hold up across studies, not single experiments or assumptions from the literature. Our breast cancer network, for example, draws on 598 datasets and over 36,000 samples.

  3. Every connection in the network points to the datasets and samples behind it, so scientists can cross-validate any finding. One model then supports many questions, such as disease mechanisms, biomarkers, patient stratification and drug prioritization. It is updated as new data is published.
