Boston, Mass. — Genedata, a leading provider of advanced software solutions for drug discovery and life science research, today announced that the latest Genedata software solutions will be featured at the Ninth Annual PEGS. Genedata Biologics™, an end-to-end solution for biologics R&D, will be showcased in the PEGS Phage and Yeast Display of Antibodies and Recombinant Proteins Session. The presentation will detail screening automation use cases from phage, yeast, and mRNA displays, as well as hybridomas and B-cells. Advanced workflow support for affinity maturation, the design and evaluation of engineered molecules, and subsequent automated expression, purification, and characterization of novel biologics candidates using Genedata Biologics will be presented. Genedata Biologics and Genedata Expressionist® for Mass Spectrometry will also be featured in poster sessions at PEGS, the foremost protein engineering summit (Seaport World Trade Center; April 29 – May 3).

Genedata Biologics and Genedata Expressionist for Biologics R&D

Genedata provides dedicated data management solutions tailored to address specific requirements in biologics R&D. Simplifying and streamlining laborious and manual lab processes such as cloning, the Genedata Biologics platform increases efficiency and throughput while reducing data handling errors to improve results quality. Automating and standardizing protein characterization processes, Genedata Expressionist for Mass Spectrometry, for example, identifies and quantifies post-translational modifications (PTMs) of biotherapeutics to assess developability.

PEGS presentation and poster sessions will examine how Genedata enables more flexible and ultra high-throughput workflows, and how classic process bottlenecks can be removed. Concrete use cases will include:

• High-throughput engineering, cloning and expression of multi-specific next-generation antibodies

• Expression system optimization and bioprocess development

• Automation of mass spectrometry data analysis for biotherapeutics

“Through our close collaboration over the last five years with industry leaders combined with significant investments in resources, Genedata has been able to solve major data integration and analysis problems in biotherapeutics R&D,” noted Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata. “Our investments have created a unique software solution for R&D organizations in need of scientific data integration and analysis. And, we are fully committed to continuing these investments and expanding the solution so that it becomes the platform of choice for biopharmaceutical R&D as well as biotherapeutics and biosimilars manufacturing.”

Editorial Note: On April 29 at 12:10pm EST, Genedata Biologics will be featured in the PEGS Phage and Yeast Display of Antibodies and Recombinant Proteins Session — “Automated High-throughput Antibody Discovery and Optimization” — by Dr. Christopher Smith.
