    Design of Experiments (DOE)

    Why Quality by Design (QbD) is vital for pharmaceutical R&D

    Understand Quality by Design (QbD), the key jargon surrounding it, plus learn why it’s so important to bake into your development processes from the start.

      About the Author

      Markus is a co-founder of Synthace and one of the UK’s leading visionaries for how we, as a society, can do better biology. Originally establishing Synthace as a synthetic biology company, he was struck with the conviction that so much potential progress is held back by tedious, one-dimensional, error-prone, manual work. Instead, what if we could lift the whole experimental cycle into the cloud and make software and machines carry more of the load? He’s been answering this question ever since.

      Markus holds a PhD in Plant Biochemistry from Durham University. He was previously a research associate in synthetic biology at University College London and a Biotransformation Scientist at Novacta Biosystems.

      Digital experiment model

      Why biology needs a digital model for experiments

      A digital experiment model is a powerful, unified blueprint. it's a shared way to conceive of and run experiments that we used to think were impossible.
