UCSF BioRouter
An AI-powered integrated research environment that unifies commercial, institution-hosted, and local AI models — built for secure, scalable biomedical discovery.
Why BioRouter
Research AI, Reimagined for Science
Biomedical researchers face unique challenges — sensitive data, proprietary codebases, on-prem datasets, and the need for reproducible, collaborative workflows. BioRouter solves all of this in one platform.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Use UCSF-hosted AI models (Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock) or fully local Ollama inference. Patient data and proprietary research never leave your institutional environment.
Agentic Orchestration
Connect specialized AI agents via the Model Context Protocol. Query clinical databases, biomedical knowledge graphs, and literature — all coordinated in one intelligent conversation.
Federated Collaboration
Package any workflow as a shareable Recipe. Collaborate across institutions without sharing sensitive data — standardized, AI-adapted pipelines that travel without their payloads.
Multi-Provider AI
Seamlessly switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more — commercial, institution-hosted, or fully local. One interface, every model, zero lock-in.
Automation & Scheduling
Automate repetitive research tasks with Recipes. Schedule pipelines on a cron schedule — literature reviews, data pulls, and analyses that run while you sleep.
Desktop & CLI
A beautiful GUI for interactive exploration and a powerful command-line interface for scripting and integration into existing bioinformatics pipelines.
Provider Ecosystem
One Platform, Every Provider
BioRouter connects to all major LLM providers — pick the one that fits your security requirements and research needs, and switch at any time.
