Tempus and USC Announce Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate AI-Driven Precision Medicine
Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, and the Keck School of Medicine of USC and Keck Medicine of USC, today announced a multi-faceted collaboration aimed at transforming patient care and accelerating research through the power of data and AI. This collaboration is designed to transform care delivery across more than 1.5 million annual patient visits to the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Keck Hospital of USC, USC Verdugo Hills and all USC-affiliated hospitals and clinics across Southern California.
The collaboration is built on four foundational pillars, co-created to drive clinical impact, research scale, and long-term innovation. These include clinical testing, which enables personalized medicine by integrating Tempus' advanced molecular diagnostics and comprehensive genomic profiling into Keck Medicine's clinical workflows; clinical trial matching, which automates the identification of eligible patients for targeted therapies and clinical trials through Tempus' TIME Trial Program; clinical care gap pathways, which use AI-driven insights to identify and close gaps in patient care; and research collaboration and co-development, which accelerates the translation of academic insights into validated diagnostics and therapies while jointly developing AI tools that connect research discoveries to clinical care.
"By working closely with Tempus, and in collaboration with clinical, research, and operational leaders across USC, we are aligning research, clinical care, and innovation priorities that put the patient first," said Vasiliki Anest, PhD, Chief Innovation Officer at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. "Our patient-focused commitment is to ensure discoveries and clinical innovations move thoughtfully and responsibly into practice, expanding access to personalized care and clinical trials, supporting physicians, and improving patient outcomes."
"We are tremendously excited to embark on this collaboration with USC, an institution that shares our commitment to advancing healthcare through data and technology," said Ezra Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Oncology at Tempus. "By bringing together Tempus' AI-powered platform with USC's world-class research and clinical expertise, we have the opportunity to create a powerful, integrated ecosystem that meaningfully transforms care delivery."
