The Broad Institute, Verily Life Sciences, and Microsoft on Monday announced a strategic partnership to extend the Terra bioinformatics analysis platform to the Microsoft Azure cloud.
The cloud-based Terra platform was codeveloped by the Broad and Google sibling Verily Life Sciences. By offering it on Azure, the three companies hope that they can improve collaboration among many of the 168,000 data scientists, biomedical researchers, and clinicians who use Terra.
"This partnership combines multimodal data, secure analytics, and scalable cloud computing to improve insight and evidence generation, allowing us to ultimately impact more patients' lives," Verily COO Stephen Gillett said in a statement.
