Benchling Announces Collaboration with Merck on Vaccine Bioanalysis
Unified platform drives bioanalytical capacity, throughput, and efficiency in regulated environment SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Benchling announced a new collaboration with Merck, known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, to implement a software framework that helps bring Merck's pre-clinical and clinical bioanalytical workflows onto one flexible, fully integrated platform. The collaboration focuses on three key areas: enhancing speed and throughput with automated data capture and integration; streamlining with a unified platform for managing workflows and data across the bioanalytical lifecycle; and maintaining rigorous quality and compliance standards in a regulated bioanalytical setting. "Our work with Merck demonstrates how technology and thoughtful collaboration can help address key scientific needs in bioanalysis," said Sajith Wickramasekara, co-founder and CEO of Benchling. "By focusing on the modern demands of bioanalytical labs, we're delivering an approach that aims to enhance efficiency throughout the vaccine development lifecycle." "Sophisticated data management capabilities are integral to advancing vaccine research and development," said Roy Helmy, Associate Vice President, Regulated Bioanalytics at Merck Research Laboratories. "We're thrilled to collaborate with the team at Benchling on a digital integration that enables our scientists to access, analyze, and harness data insights throughout the development process." About Benchling Benchling creates the software that powers the biotechnology industry, serving cutting-edge start-ups and more than half of the top 50 global biopharma companies. Over 200,000 scientists rely on the Benchling R&D Cloud as their central source of truth for scientific data, analysis, and collaboration.

Benchling and Moderna Collaborate on AI-Driven Research
SAN FRANCISCO and BOSTON, May 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- Benchling, the R&D platform powering the biotech industry, today announced an expanded collaboration with Moderna. What began with Benchling supporting Moderna's technical development teams — such as analytical development, technical operations, process development, and formulations — has grown into a broader rollout across the company's research organization. The expansion will bring hundreds of Moderna's scientists onto a unified, AI-ready research and development digital platform built to accelerate discovery and innovation. "Moderna was built on the belief that technology and science together drive breakthroughs in medicine," said Wade Davis, Senior Vice President, Digital at Moderna. "AI is creating extraordinary opportunities in science, but realizing its full potential requires entirely new ways of working. Benchling is tackling these industry-wide challenges head-on. Through this collaboration, our scientists have access to a strong foundation for AI and our computational scientists and engineers are empowered to do truly cutting-edge work." A new standard for digital transformation in biotech Moderna and Benchling are focused on three priorities with this digital transformation: consolidating systems to create a seamless experience for scientists, automating scientific workflows, and standardizing data into consistent, AI-ready formats. "R&D teams are under constant pressure to move faster and work more efficiently. AI and automation can unlock new levels of productivity, but only with the right infrastructure," said Sajith Wickramasekara, CEO and co-founder of Benchling. "Moderna and Benchling are showing what the future of R&D looks like—fully digital, deeply integrated and built for intelligence and scale." Innovating the infrastructure for AI in biotech Moderna's research and technical development teams required a flexible system that could scale with their pipeline. Benchling's digital platform addresses these needs by balancing agility with out-of-the box scientific workflows. Moderna's digital teams use Benchling's developer platform to build and deploy custom workflows, automate template generation, and integrate proprietary machine learning models. This shift reduces setup time for new workflows and enables high-throughput processing of experimental data—allowing digital teams to focus on innovation instead of maintaining systems. As Benchling rolls out across the research organization, scientists can design experiments, track samples, and analyze results within a single system, eliminating the friction of disconnected tools. The platform also addresses a long-standing industry challenge: integrating both structured and unstructured data across diverse research environments, laying the groundwork for AI-driven analysis across therapeutic areas. Through this collaboration, the two companies are redefining how modern biotech research is done, setting a new standard for the digital infrastructure behind AI-driven R&D.
