ChemDraw taught chemists to draw on a computer. Its owner now wants experiments, collaborators and AI models to speak the same language - and the most revealing case begins with a hunt for old lab notes.
The Leeds software charity turns chemical knowledge into tools for spotting hazards. Its unusual advantage is persuading competing companies to learn from one another’s experiments.
MetaCell is a life-science software company staffed by scientists and software engineers who turn messy neuroscience and biology data - microscopy, MRI, EEG, electrophysiology, biologically accurate simulations - into usable, shareable, enterprise-grade online tools. Founded by the trio behind the OpenWorm project, MetaCell builds custom scientific software, cloud workspaces, and data pipelines for pharma companies and top research institutions including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Biogen, Eisai, the Allen Institute, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and universities like Princeton, Yale, and UCL.
Quartzy is the lab management platform used by research scientists to track inventory, manage orders, and buy supplies from a marketplace of more than 1,000 suppliers - all in one place. Founded in 2011 by two Columbia PhD students who got tired of the paperwork eating their bench time.
