ABOUT ARIANA PHARMA
We make complex clinical data easier to understand
Ariana Pharma helps biotech and pharma teams investigate complex clinical and biological data and translate findings into development decisions.
Our work brings together data scientists, computational biologists and clinical development expertise. We focus on questions that require understanding combinations of patient characteristics, biomarkers and outcomes, particularly when cohorts are small and heterogeneous.
SCIENTIFIC ORIGINS
Ariana started as a research question inside Institut Pasteur: how do you find certainty in biological data too small and too tangled for statistics to trust?
The answer became KEM®: logic-based, symbolic AI built on Formal Concept Analysis and Association Rule Mining. Fifteen years on, that same logic now powers clinical decisions for pharma and biotech teams worldwide.
