Our take
Over the past decade, the cost of bringing a drug to market has increased exponentially. But the number of drugs approved has stayed stagnant, leading to a decline in research productivity. Through the development of AI-assisted software, BenchSci has allowed scientists to rapidly compute data from scientific journals and product catalogues to dramatically reduce these inefficiencies in the R&D process.
The company offers a lateral solution to traditional, manual data analysis to allow for data leveraging. Plus an automated, comprehensive overview of existing relevant research. These methods have made BenchSci a forerunner in the drug development industry; the company's software is used by leading pharmaceutical companies.
BenchSci continues to invest in its machine learning technology, and in 2023 launched ASCEND. This is software that extracts experimental evidence from internal and external sources to help improve the hit rate of drug trials. It has also raised considerable funds, the latest of which is supporting the expansion of the platform.
