The Challenge
Synlogic, a company creating a novel class of living medicines, was facing challenges with its legacy software. The software couldn't keep up with Synlogic's need for rapid process iteration, which resulted in scientists having to manage manual data entry across disparate systems. This hindered analysis and reporting, delaying critical business decisions. Furthermore, without a central place to store the data produced by their bioreactors, scientists spent significant time tracking people down and sending emails.
About The Customer
Synlogic is a pioneering company in the field of synthetic biology. They are creating a novel class of living medicines by genetically altering non-pathogenic bacteria found naturally in the human gut. These altered bacteria perform specific functions within the microbiome, allowing therapeutic synthesis to occur within the microbiome itself, without radically changing the human microbiota. The company's innovative approach to medicine has the potential to revolutionize treatments for a variety of conditions.
The Solution
Synlogic implemented Benchling, a unified informatics platform, to address their challenges. After completing a reactor run, Synlogic’s data is automatically uploaded and structured in Benchling and tied to its relevant experimental workflow. By leveraging the Benchling API, Synlogic automatically generates visualizations of their fermentation data. This allows them to track fermentation trends over time of individual and multiple fermentations. Furthermore, Benchling provides a single system for placing fermentation requests and accessing data the moment it’s generated. This has streamlined the process and improved productivity.
Operational Impact
  • Synlogic's data is automatically uploaded and structured in Benchling after each reactor run, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
  • Automated visualizations of fermentation data are generated, allowing Synlogic to track fermentation trends over time.
  • Benchling provides a single system for placing fermentation requests and accessing data, streamlining the process and improving productivity.
