Bioprocessing is undergoing a transformation, with products and processes that are more varied and challenging than ever before. Addressing this complexity requires a fundamental shift in the way that bioprocess development is undertaken, progressing
from a traditionally manual approach to one that embraces high-throughput technologies, advances in process measurement and control, and fully utilises the vast data generated.
- Explore best practices for generating structured data in an automated way
- Explore data requirements for some of the newer data science tools
- Explore the human and organisational challenges around adopting new technologies in bioprocessing

Synthace is the software company behind Antha, an integrated digital-to-physical: lab and data automation platform for biological experimentation. Our software enables users to dynamically design, execute, and replicate automated experiments, as well as collect and structure data from a variety of laboratory instruments reducing the time to biological insight. With an easy to use interface, it lowers barriers to multiple automation platforms, allowing non-specialists to easily generate analytics-ready structured datasets. We have partnered with Microsoft, Tecan, Merck, and Oxford Biomedica amongst others in areas such as high-throughput process development (HTPD) for downstream and upstream workflows. To read more about what our partners and clients have been able to achieve with the Antha platform, please visit this link: https://www.synthace.com/customers/case-studies/
