On January 12, 2026 ConcertAI, a leading oncology real-world evidence data and AI SaaS technology company, and Foundation Medicine, a global, patient-focused precision medicine company, reported a collaboration to combine their data assets for life sciences research. The collaboration brings Foundation Medicine’s expansive de-identified multimodal dataset derived from its genomic testing portfolio together with ConcertAI’s high-quality clinical data, to support more efficient drug development and real-world evidence research. With the addition of Foundation Medicine’s data, ConcertAI now offers the largest and most comprehensive clinically-linked dataset with nearly half a million patients.

The collaboration comes as oncology drug programs face rising trial complexity and tighter budgets, which puts more weight on high-quality data that can guide early decisions. Pairing Foundation Medicine and ConcertAI’s data captures the full journey of cancer patients from pre-diagnosis through treatment and outcomes, allowing life science researchers and biopharmaceutical developers to reduce guesswork in early research, tighten trial plans, and bring new therapies to patients faster, while ensuring the rigor of their research.
"Drug developers are increasingly pushed to accelerate their research pipelines but require more robust insights into both early genomic signals and patient outcomes to make this a reality," said Eron Kelly, CEO of ConcertAI. "By combining the largest and deepest set of clinical data with genomic insights, including whole slide imaging, we can help teams set a clearer plan and speed up their projects. Our collaboration with Foundation Medicine complements our full suite of partnerships aimed at advancing the development of vital therapies."
Foundation Medicine has U.S Food and Drug Administration-approved companion diagnostic indications for all four major classes of genomic alterations and for multiple genomic signatures. Detection of these major classes of alterations provide partners with a comprehensive view of their cohort’s genomic landscape, including difficult-to-detect alterations, such as MTAP loss, that are not detected well by all next-generation sequencing tests.1
In addition to genomic data, the combined dataset includes gene expression data, immunohistochemistry (IHC) results, and whole-slide images, alongside one of the most diverse clinical datasets from ConcertAI, whether measured by socioeconomic diversity, ethnic diversity, or rural vs. urban communities. By connecting these views, researchers can better study how cancers act in real life and how patients respond to treatments over time.
"By integrating our high-quality genomic data with ConcertAl’s electronic health data, we have created one of the most powerful new real-world data sets that enables insights to be turned into strategic decisions at critical milestones for our partners," said Dan Malarek, CEO of Foundation Medicine. "AI is the future and through our Al-driven analytical capabilities via FoundationInsights, our biopharmaceutical and research partners can access the right data when they need it and uncover answers faster. This accelerates development and helps patients benefit sooner from advances in precision medicine."
