Tempus Field Of Operation
Tempus is an organization that majorly deals with data on various diseases. Eric Lefkofsky saw how difficult it was for doctors to obtain data, which was vital for decision making. Tempus conducts research that shows the patterns of diseases, which is very important for decision making. Tempus has three major lines of business. First, it offers genomic tests. These tests can be ordered by physicians and be used for their intended purposes. They also partner with academic medical centers and even community health care systems in organizing and aggregating data. These are the data that were initially kept in electronic systems. They also sell and curate de-identified data to pharmaceutical organizations that work on drug discovery. Tempus also takes pride in having one of the biggest libraries of stored data of various diseases.
Recent Involvement
Tempus has taken part in the fight against covid-19. They have taken data from patients, which are very important in determining the disease trends, which can be used for drug discovery efforts. Though this has not yielded results, the organization still has hopes that it will play a crucial role in drug discovery.
