Single Cell Data Alliance
A collaborative effort to standardize and harmonize single-cell data so researchers
can analyze with confidence and build more reliable models.
The Single Cell Data Alliance, led by Rancho BioSciences, is a pre-competitive collaboration bringing together pharma, biotech, and academic partners to address one of the biggest challenges in single-cell research: inconsistent and fragmented data.
By harmonizing and curating large-scale single-cell datasets using shared standards, ontologies, and proven workflows, the Alliance enables researchers to compare results across studies, reuse
data with confidence, and apply advanced analytics and AI
more effectively.
Together, we are building reproducible, interoperable, and AI-ready single-cell data foundations that reduce redundant effort and accelerate discovery across the scientific community.
To make single-cell data more usable, comparable, and interoperable, accelerating scientific discovery while reducing redundant effort across the global research community.
Aggregate, curate, and harmonize single-cell datasets across studies and diseases
Develop shared metadata standards and ontologies
Build consensus around data quality, lineage, and FAIR compliance
Enable AI and machine learning through standardized, reusable datasets
Operate transparently in a pre-competitive framework where all members benefit
Single-cell technologies have reshaped biology, but their potential is limited by inconsistent data practices. Without harmonization, it is difficult to combine results across studies or train robust AI models.
Creating a shared single-cell data model used across member organizations
Applying Rancho’s harmonization and curation pipelines for quality and reproducibility
Building cross-study ontologies for consistent labeling and annotation
Producing analysis, and AI-ready datasets that support analytics, visualization, and model training
From single-cell to spatial, bulk RNA, and cell painting, every dataset is expertly curated, ontology-aligned, and structured to support advanced analytics and seamless AI and ML integration. Join leading biopharma teams already accelerating discovery with access to exclusive, off-embargo data collections.
