Free Webinar | Digital Bioprocessing: Addressing complexity and accelerating process development through data and automation tools

November 10, 2020 | 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Webinar Description:

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.

Learning Objectives:

  • 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

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Data Scientists, Vice Presidents, Directors, Team Leads in Process Development and Biomanufacturing, Automation Engineers, Bioprocessing Scientists, High-Throughput Process Development Teams (HTPD), Upstream and Downstream Researchers, Cell Line Development teams, IT teams wanting to learn more about development.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR

Synthace

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.
