From growth markets such as recombinant proteins, peptides, and crafted antibodies to previously separated workflows for small and large molecules, and the recent complex challenge of multimodal entities, the landscape of Biopharmaceutical R&D has been ever-evolving. With each leap forward, lab informatics systems play a crucial role in managing this flux while ensuring efficient collaboration between different scientific departments.

Observe Sapio Sciences. Pulling out all the stops, this science-awareTM lab informatics platform has introduced its latest rendition, promising to bail out R&D teams battling to bridge the gap within their multimodal therapies and product workflow. Now researchers won’t have to choose; the new functionality supports registration and tracking of small molecules, large molecules, and multimodal entities all on one platform.

Much like the industry itself, lab informatics has morphed over the years. Kevin Cramer, president and CEO of Sapio Sciences, drew attention to this when he stated, “The days of viewing drug discovery through the separate lenses of small molecules and large molecules are outdated. Today, drug discovery in biopharma is increasingly multimodal.”

The challenges of separate registration systems for different molecules are no longer hidden. One significant drawback has been low cross-departmental collaboration, and thus the integration of the new feature gets two thumbs up. With this barrier broken down, the likes of chemistry and molecular biology can now seamlessly merge their endeavours.

What further bolsters the new Sapio Platform is its underlying module — a single materials management system. If you’re wondering about the system’s approach towards different molecules, they aren’t selectively distinguished; instead, all entities are judiciously collected and regulated as molecular materials.

Technological advancements like this “combined approach system” can enable a pivotal shift in the approach towards drug discovery; instead of being molecule-specific, it will be more holistic and integrated. This promotes efficiency, reduces redundancy, and paves the way for the development of innovative multimodal drug therapies.

Whether you are a new biotech venture or an established biopharma giant, there are substantial benefits to be gained from implementing this unified lab informatics platform. Not only does it address new modality drug discovery opportunities, but also enables users to optimize multimodal drug discovery.

In conclusion, as we witness a significant increase in multimodal drug discovery, such technological advancements will play a pivotal part in catapulting the Biopharmaceutical industry further into the future. The updated Sapio Platform is set to revolutionize lab informatics, harboring promising implications for the multimodal Biopharmaceutical industry.
