About TileDB

TileDB is the omnimodal database: designed for discovery, and built by scientists to unlock innovation. TileDB structures all data types, including data that does not easily fit into relational databases. Built on a powerful shape-shifting array storage engine, TileDB handles the complexities of non-traditional “unstructured” multimodal data, such as genomic variants, bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and biomedical imaging as well as the frontier data of the future.

Used by big pharma and biotechs to power their multiomic data platforms, TileDB is the destination for scientific breakthroughs where frontier multimodal data is driving drug discovery.
