Lifebit Launches TRE START - the Free Tier of its Trusted Research Environment™

Free & democratized secure, federated bioinformatics & data science in your own cloud account.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lifebit, the global leader in federated and data intelligence platforms and trusted research solutions, today announced TRE START, a free tier of its Trusted Research Environment™ (TRE) that enables research teams, startups, and academic labs to deploy a secure, compliant TRE in their own cloud account in under 30 minutes.

For the first time, small research teams and non-profits can set up a production-grade Trusted Research Environment without vendor lock-in or lengthy onboarding. TRE START runs directly in a user’s AWS, Azure, or GCP cloud account, giving full data control while avoiding traditional licensing and infrastructure costs.

“With TRE START, we’re lowering the barrier to secure, compliant research collaboration,” said Maria Dunford, CEO of Lifebit. “Our mission has always been to democratise access to trusted research infrastructure, and TRE START means that even the smallest research teams can now operate with the same governance and security foundations as national precision medicine programmes.”

About TRE START
TRE START provides a no-cost, no-setup entry point to the world’s first federated Trusted Research Environment™, deployable directly in the user’s own cloud.

Within minutes, users can connect their cloud account and data, create a workspace, invite collaborators, and begin analysing data securely, with all governance handled by Lifebit’s built-in TrustOps essentials.

Key capabilities include:

• ✅ 1 Workspace, unlimited users, and unlimited data
