Agritech companies developing new herbicides generate and analyse huge amounts of data. Data from high-throughput screens, chemical optimisation work, plant genomics, bioefficacy and crop safety testing must be combined to pick candidates for development. Later, promising candidates must pass stringent mammalian toxicology and environmental safety evaluations.
Startup and virtual companies commonly outsource synthetic chemistry, field, glasshouse, physicochemical and regulatory studies to contract research organisations (CROs), which adds another layer of complexity to data management. Ultimately, outsourcing works best if CROs and other collaborators have access to secure two-way information flow without compromising IP, data security or data quality. MoA Technology, an agritech startup, has found CDD Vault – developed by Collaborative Drug Discovery – to be the ideal informatics infrastructure to manage a wide range of data, seamlessly integrating in-house workflows and third party projects.
