Case Study: Genomics England achieves scalable, sovereign genomics research with Lifebit

Genomics England cuts cloud costs by 30–90% with Lifebit

Lifebit partnered with Genomics England to address the challenges of conducting large-scale genomic research under strict privacy and governance requirements. The customer needed to enable secure access for thousands of researchers without the high cost and risk of moving massive, sensitive datasets, which were fragmented across their environment.

The solution implemented was Lifebit's federated Trusted Research Environment, deployed inside Genomics England's own security perimeter. This allowed researchers to analyze data in place, drastically reducing time-to-data from months to days. Lifebit's platform resulted in 30–90% lower cloud costs and now supports over 1,200 users working on 125,500 genomes and 50 petabytes of data, all while ensuring data never leaves the secure environment.
