THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Clinical trials fail when distinct biologies are treated as one disesase

Chronic diseases are usually defined by clinical labels, but patients with the same diagnosis can progress through different biological routes.

Nidana separates these mixed populations into longitudinal disease states, revealing the mechanisms that drive progression — not just the markers associated with diagnosis.

Trained on longitudinal phenotypic data,

captures progression biology and diseases trajectories.

THE DISCOVERY SIGNAL

More accurate phenotypes reveal more therapeutically relevant targets

Conventional discovery

Genetic studies run directly on ICD labels, which group together patients with different underlying biology — diluting the genetic signal and producing a long, unprioritized list of targets.

Disease GWAS

Longitudinal discovery

By reducing phenotypic heterogeneity before genetic analysis, Nidana reveals stronger associations and additional loci linked to disease progression and target biology.

OBESITY CASE STUDY

From GWAS hits to validated causal targets

Obesity Case Study funnel

Obesity GWAS identifies many associated loci, but translating those associations into disease-driving, therapeutically tractable targets remains challenging. Nidana uses longitudinal disease biology to filter broad GWAS signals into a smaller set of progression-linked targets with stronger clinical-transition potential.
