Synthetic biology firm, Synthace, speeds up study design procedures utilizing Automated Experiment Design
In the realm of science and technology, several key individuals and platforms are making significant strides in advancing research and analysis.
Benjamin Valsler, the digital editor of our website magazine, is one such figure. Before joining the Royal Society of Chemistry, Benjamin was the producer of the award-winning Naked Scientists. Today, he continues to produce video and podcasts to accompany the magazine and website of our platform.
In the field of data analysis, JMP, a part of SAS since 1989, has been bringing interactive data visualization and analysis to the desktop. JMP's senior statistical consultant, Robert Anderson, has over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry in device and process engineering. He has also mentored engineers in process improvement, defect reduction, and yield improvement methodologies.
Robert works from the JMP UK office in Glasgow, Scotland. His expertise in statistical methods and Design of Experiments (DoE) has been instrumental in delivering training programs for JMP.
Design of Experiments, a structured approach to understanding complex biological processes, is enhanced when coupled with tailored software and automation equipment. This is where the Antha platform developed by Synthace comes into play. Antha is a software platform for experimental planning and automated execution, designed to lower the barriers for scientists to execute sophisticated experiments with automated laboratory equipment.
Before working at Synthace, Michael Sadowski was involved in biotechnology and scientific research, holding roles that combined science and technology, including experience in computational biology. Michael, now the head of bioinformatics at Synthace, has been writing computational tools for biological problems for 20 years.
Sid Sadowski, who joined Synthace in 2012, has been leading the development of their pioneering applications of DoE to biological experiments. The effectiveness of DoE is further amplified by Synthace's approach to automating the planning and execution of these experiments, leading to rapid insights and improved decision making for a number of applications within bioprocess development.
SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market, is another organisation contributing to these advancements.
In summary, the work of individuals like Benjamin Valsler, Robert Anderson, Michael Sadowski, and Sid Sadowski, along with platforms like JMP and Antha, are driving the future of data analysis and biological research, providing scientists with the tools they need to make groundbreaking discoveries.
