Challenge	Zymergen, an industrial biotechnology company, faced several challenges as it scaled rapidly. The scientists at the company were having difficulty collaborating and sharing information due to the lack of an efficient system. The growing R&D teams needed an informatics solution that could quickly adapt to organizational changes. Moreover, Zymergen has extensive custom software and instrumentation, so they needed a platform that could integrate easily with their internal tools. Read More
About Customer	Zymergen is an industrial biotechnology company that engineers microbes to produce high-value commercial molecules. The company has been scaling rapidly and has a growing R&D team. They have extensive custom software and instrumentation that they use in their operations. The company needed a solution that could integrate with their internal tools and adapt quickly to organizational changes. Read More
Solution	Zymergen adopted the Benchling platform, a data management platform that could integrate with their proprietary high-throughput microbial engineering system. The platform was flexible enough to adapt to the changing team structures and provided shared sequence inventories. The Benchling platform was initially adopted by 10 users, but it has since grown to over 140 users, indicating its scalability and continuous onboarding capabilities. Read More Log in to view content
