We create the first agentic AI operating system to find the right treatment for every patient.
About us
OWKIN is pioneering the first Biological Artificial Super Intelligence (BASI) to decode biology and develop tailored solutions for every patient. At the core of this innovation is OWKIN K, a next-generation agentic operating system that seamlessly connects multimodal patient data from top hospitals worldwide to AI agents that co-pilot tasks across biology, drug discovery, and diagnostics. Leveraging this ecosystem, OWKIN is launching new industry verticals led by AI agents, starting with Therakin (a next-gen ASI-driven pharma), OWKIN Dx (ASI-powered diagnostics), and BioOptimus (a foundation model for biology). Owkin group has raised over $400 million and became a unicorn through investments from leading biopharma companies (Sanofi and BMS) and venture funds (Fidelity, GV and BPI, among others).

Immune cells play critical role in GBM and create an immunosupressive environment. Our GBM MOSAIC research cohort - the only in the world of this depth and size can help exploring more to better spatially charactzerize those cells and localize them within the TEM, and understand which pathways inibit them and how to create therapeutic intervention. Great post from Jean-Frederic Petit-Nivard OWKIN CBO. AI spatial biology is just starting, OWKIN K is ready to help copilot alls related research and breakthrough.
🚨 New GBM research paper in Science! Christina Jackson et al. have just published a powerful study: “Distinct myeloid-derived suppressor cell populations in human glioblastoma” (Science, 2025) The paper sheds light on a previously uncharacterized immune cell population, early myeloid-derived suppressor cells (E-MDSCs), and their critical role in GBM. 🔬 Key finding: A bidirectional signaling axis between glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) and E-MDSCs. → GSCs recruit E-MDSCs via chemokines → E-MDSCs support tumor growth by releasing FGF11, activating the FGF11–FGFR1 pathway 📍This work opens new doors for therapeutic targeting and deepens our understanding of GBM's immunosuppressive microenvironment. At Owkin, we've launched MOSAIC research 2 years ago with our partners, to build the largest spatial atlas in oncology, including a large, well-annotated GBM cohort. 🔎 So what ? MOSAIC is a great way to build on those results and further the research. A few avenues could be: - using scRNA-seq to detect and further characterize E-MDSCs - using Spatial transcriptomics to localize them within the tumor microenvironment - Explore co-localization patterns with GSCs and other immune/stromal cells - Investigate alternative signaling pathways active in E-MDSCs - Identify additional therapeutic vulnerabilities Thank you Min J. Kim for sharing it 💡 Want to explore this further?

In our latest Partners in Science episode, Philip Payne, Chief Health AI Officer from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis discusses how we can get AI to show real world medical impact. Owkin and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are partnering to work on integrating multiscale real world data types through AI. This kind of advancement can be used for hypothesis generation and better diseases subtyping. Watch the full interview to see how this partnership is using AI to reshape our understanding of biomedical science.

💡 How is AI transforming healthcare? That’s what our COO Alban de La Sablière discusses at the mic of the excellent François Sorel, host of the Tech & Co TV/Radio show on BFM Business at the AWS Summit in Paris. It’s an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the possibilities offered by AI in medical research and to better explain the value of having a solid partner like Amazon Web Services (AWS) to speed up discoveries. Joining Alban for the conversation are Camille Bouget, CEO of Scienta Lab, and Robin Chaudret, CTO of Qubit Pharmaceuticals. 🇫🇷 Watch the full interview → https://lnkd.in/eJEWy728

One year on: how has Owkin’s work in foundation models progressed since our 2024 Kaggle UBC-OCEAN winning project. Owkin’s Kaggle solution harnessed Phikon, our cutting-edge histology foundation model (https://lnkd.in/ez6aYFWQ) – and now we have published Phikon 2 and worked with Bioptimus on H0-mini. This blog highlights the game-changing power of foundation models - how they could revolutionize digital pathology and oncology while tackling complex medical challenges.
