ABOUT US
Zephyr is building an innovative AI platform to change the way we treat cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. By aggregating massive data sets and harnessing advanced technologies and AI to increase our understanding of biology, Zephyr discovers insights that will transform how new therapies are developed and how we treat patients. We will use that knowledge to devise interventions that enable people to live longer and healthier lives. Working in close partnership with industry-leading institutions across academia, biopharma, and care delivery, Zephyr is advancing our understanding of how to characterize and treat chronic diseases. With an initial focus on cancer and diabetes, Zephyr is working to revolutionize drug development, reform clinical trials, and change healthcare to impact patient lives. Zephyr is based in Tysons Corner, VA, and currently operates as a remote-first organization.
