Digital transformation to unlock the power of biotechnology

Jamie Kincaid, Leader, Professional Services EMEA, Benchling

Hear from Benchling about the state of biotech and the newest innovations coming to support R&D.

9:40 am

Pioneering the industrialisation of precision medicines

Matt Todd, Head of Architecture, Ori Biotech

Cell and gene therapies (CGT) have proven effective, yet only a very small portion of patients are able to access treatments, typically as third- or fourth-line treatments. Ori Biotech are leading manufacturing technology company building a CGT manufacturing platform to enable widespread access to these life-changing treatments.

However, this requires urgent modernization of the legacy and manual technologies used during therapy development and manufacturing. These outdated technologies are having a dramatically negative effect on scalability, resulting in extremely limited manufacturing slots and very high cost of goods-resulting in patients dying whilst on waitlists for CGT.

Join this session to understand how other industries have solved these challenges through digital transformation and automation, and how their learnings can be applied to CGT to enable the industrialisation of patient-specific therapies. You will also gain insights into how Ori Biotech is tackling digitalisation in the CGT space.

10:00 am

Accelerating the discovery of sustainable crop protection

Estefani Lencer, Research Laboratory Manager, MOA Technology

10:20 am

The pivotal role of FAIR principles in developing a data culture

Eliot Randle, Managing partner & co-founder, Digital Lab Consulting

Life sciences organizations face a growing challenge in extracting value and insights from the increasingly large volumes of diverse data that they generate. High quality, unambiguous data is at the heart of any digital transformation or lab of the future initiative.

In this session we’ll explain the pivotal role that the FAIR principles (ensuring data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) have in ensuring that data can be exchanged and exploited more effectively. We’ll also describe some of the strategies that can be used to support your FAIR data journey.
