Flatiron’s mission is to improves lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. Flatiron Health's Research organization was started in 2014 with the goal of serving cancer patients by accelerating research. We believe that existing clinical research paradigms are ill-equipped to answer the research questions that face drug developers, academic researchers, and regulators in the oncology space today. By focusing on technology solutions that can be deployed widely across the Flatiron network of providers, Flatiron has the opportunity to generate insights that were previously impossible.

Today, Flatiron Research is focused on innovating in the Real-World Evidence (RWE) space. Our technology-first approach has allowed us to build RWE data sets with higher quality, accuracy, recency, and scale than any other data set that is available. We have active partnerships with top-tier academic medical centers, 13 of the top 14 oncology biopharma companies, and the FDA, all focused on using RWE to answer critical questions quickly and safely. The Life Sciences Partnerships (LSP) team supports our biopharma partners in advancing their research priorities using RWE and other relevant Flatiron Research offerings.
