Cohorts using Nightingale Health's data

Collaboration across multiple cohorts ensures convincing scientific results and enables faster translation. Analyze your findings with other cohorts to increase statistical power and publish highly reproducible science.

Numerous cohorts have already used Nightingale Health for metabolic profiling of projects, frequently at the whole cohort scale.

Our technology provides data in absolute concentration units with no batch effects. Therefore, it is straightforward to meta-analyze the data across different cohorts, replicate your findings and increase the statistical power of individual studies. Many scientific publications have proven that biomarkers associations based on Nightingale Health data are highly replicable across cohorts.


Nightingale Health encourages collaboration across multiple cohorts because such partnerships enable replication and validation of the key results.

This ensures high-quality, reproducible results and is often recommended for publication in the top journals. Eventually, this allows faster translation of the research findings into clinical use.

Uncovering disease mechanisms and translating your findings into a clinical context can help more people live healthier lives.

To make such collaborations easier, we have listed below some of the cohorts using Nightingale Health’s data. To unleash the strengths of replicable biomarker results for your data sets, we recommend contacting the senior study author or study PI for collaboration requests. It is easy to replicate results using summary statistics whenever sharing an individual person's data is challenging.
