How Synthace Helps Life Science Teams Run More Powerful Experiments

Synthace is a digital experiment platform built for high-performance life science R&D teams to help them run more powerful experiments and accelerate scientific progress. It brings every stage of experimental design, planning, automation, and analysis into one place, allowing teams to eliminate the manual steps that traditionally slow them down.

Markus Gershater, PhD, co-founder and CEO, says life science researchers have long been held back by fragmented tools and manual processes. Many labs still rely on spreadsheets, emails, and paper notes to capture their work, which makes it difficult to scale experiments or share results across teams. Synthace was built to address this problem by giving biologists a unified, no-code environment to do all their work in one connected platform.

Design, Plan, and Automate in One Environment

Markus explains that one of Synthace’s biggest strengths is its ability to unify the entire experimental process. Biologists can design their experiments, plan workflows, and even automate lab equipment without leaving the platform.

This seamless flow reduces the need for researchers to constantly switch between tools or manually rewrite protocols. As a result, experiments can be designed and executed with greater accuracy and speed. Markus says this change alone allows scientists to focus on the science itself rather than administrative tasks.

The platform is also designed to be accessible. Researchers do not need coding skills to use it, which means they can create complex, automated workflows without additional technical training.

Structured Data from the Start

A common issue in life science research is inconsistent data. Markus points out that when experimental details and results are scattered across different systems, teams struggle to reproduce findings or build on previous work.

Synthace addresses this by automatically gathering all experiment data and metadata in a structured format as the work is carried out. This approach ensures that researchers can easily search, reuse, and analyze data across projects, which Markus believes is key to accelerating discovery.

By capturing the full context of each experiment, Synthace makes it possible to answer new questions without having to repeat past work. This saves time and resources while improving the quality of decision-making.

Experiments that Scale with Ambition

Markus explains that the platform allows scientists to run experiments that would have been impractical with traditional methods. They can easily add variables and conditions, creating more comprehensive datasets that lead to deeper insights.

These more ambitious experiments enable teams to test multiple hypotheses at once, identify promising results sooner, and move faster toward breakthroughs. Markus says this shift is particularly valuable in fields like drug development, where time and efficiency can have a direct impact on patient outcomes.

Collaboration and Reproducibility Made Easier

Because experiments are designed and recorded in a single digital environment, teams can collaborate more effectively. Markus notes that everyone involved in a project, from lab technicians to project leads, has access to the same information in real time.

This transparency improves reproducibility, a long-standing challenge in life sciences. Experiments can be rerun with complete confidence that the same conditions will be applied, reducing the risk of errors or wasted resources.

Markus believes this level of traceability and collaboration will become increasingly important as research organizations become more global and distributed.

Built with Scientists in Mind

Synthace was designed by scientists for scientists. Markus says the team behind the platform has extensive experience working in the lab, which shaped its focus on usability and impact.

Instead of adding complexity, the goal was to remove friction from the research process. Markus believes that scientists should be spending their time asking questions and analyzing results, not wrestling with software or manually updating protocols.

By providing a tool that is intuitive and aligned with the way researchers actually work, Synthace helps teams spend more time on science and less time on administration.

Supporting a Wide Range of organizations

The platform is used by pharmaceutical companies, biotech startups, and academic research institutions around the world. Markus says its flexibility allows it to fit into different research environments, whether a lab is just beginning to explore automation or already has advanced robotics in place.

Organizations that adopt Synthace often see a significant improvement in research efficiency. They are able to design more experiments, generate higher-quality data, and collaborate more effectively across teams.

Accelerating Scientific Progress

Markus explains that Synthace’s ultimate goal is to help scientists push the boundaries of what is possible in the lab. By unifying the experimental process and ensuring that every piece of data is captured and structured, the platform allows research teams to move faster and more confidently.

He believes that this approach will help life science organizations discover new therapies, products, and innovations more quickly. Faster and better experiments mean faster answers to critical scientific questions, which benefits not only the organizations involved but also society as a whole.

A Vision for the Future of Experimentation

Markus Gershater says Synthace was built to change how experiments are designed, run, and analyzed. It gives scientists a single environment where they can take an idea from design through execution to insight without having to piece together multiple tools.

As life sciences continue to evolve, Synthace provides a foundation for research teams to work at a new level of speed and precision. By helping scientists run more powerful experiments and capture structured data at scale, the platform is redefining how life science R&D moves forward.
