Based in London, Lifebit is a mid-sized biotechnology company that provides a federated data infrastructure for national-scale biomedical research. Its platform enables pharma companies, biobanks, and governments to analyze highly sensitive health data without moving it from its source. Genomics England runs on Lifebit's platform, and the solution is used by major biobanks and research programs across the UK, US, and Asia, supported by a Trusted Research Environment that keeps data at source and routes outputs through an airlock. As a participant in the biotechnology research sector, Lifebit positions itself as an enabling layer for sovereign health data infrastructure, supporting cross-border collaboration and secure data governance for its customers. Nationally, in 2026 Lifebit announced the launch of Canada's National Federated Research Infrastructure framework with CanPath, marking an expansion of its federated framework.
