Aitia (f.k.a GNS Healthcare) is a biosimulation company based in Somerville, MA.
A company called Gene Network Sciences (GNS), was founded in 2000 by Cornell physicists Colin Hill and Iya Khalil, which focused on computational biology models of interactions among genes and proteins in cells, with a focus on cancer drug discovery.
Aitia was formed as a subsidiary of GNS in 2010 to apply the data analytic methods the company had developed to the healthcare provider, health insurance, pharmacy benefit management and health informatics industries.
