    From Moderna to Dash Bio - Revolutionizing Drug Development with Dave Johnson

    In this episode of Data in Biotech, Ross Katz sits down with Dave Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Dash Bio, a next-gen drug development services company with a mission to revolutionize clinical bioanalysis and streamline drug development. Dave begins the episode by taking us back to the early research days in Moderna, where he helped lay the groundwork for mRNA technology, which later enabled the development of a vaccine for COVID-19 at unprecedented speed. As he explains, this automated work and pre-built systems ultimately played a central role in responding to urgent health challenges. He also shares his firsthand experience of working in a rapidly scaling pharma company, discussing the potential challenges that arose along the way and the lessons he learned to overcome them. Dave then proceeds to highlight the most significant insufficiencies in drug development—particularly the lack of industrialization and standardization. He explains how Dash Bio aims to address these issues, focusing on clinical bioanalysis now and expanding to broader standardization later. The goal is ultimately to develop a more efficient, high-quality end-to-end system and improve the overall efficacy of the drug development process. Finally, Dave and Ross discuss the misconceptions surrounding lab automation and emphasize the need for a shift of perspective within the drug development space. They also touch upon Dave’s vision for the future of Dash Bio, plus his advice for aspiring biotech data leaders eager to contribute to industry transformation.  Data in Biotech is a fortnightly podcast exploring how companies leverage data innovation in the life sciences.

    Automating Bioprocessing to Speed up Workflows with Invert

    This week on Data in Biotech, we’re joined by Martin Permin, the co-founder of Invert, a company that builds software that automates bioprocessing. Martin talks us through his own unique journey into biotech - starting from a role at Airbnb - through to co-founding Invert. Invert helps users grab data from their instruments, map out their individual processes, clean up the data for analysis, and look for ways to speed up the “mundane” data cleaning tasks that often take up the majority of one’s time.  With our host, Ross Katz, Martin tells us the statistical problems Invert works to solve for their different types of clients: biologic development labs, full-scale manufacturers, and CDMOs. While they all approach data cleaning and analysis from different directions, Invert can see how clients use the system and look for ways to automate repeated processes to help them save time. They discuss implementing Invert into the Design, Build, Test, Learn Loop and why Invert is invested in reducing how many times one has to go around that loop. Martin explains how his company looks to reduce the risk in tech transfer in both directions, in terms of time and labor.  Then, the conversation moves to ML/AI, where Martin tells us how a lot of his customers are finding that the bottlenecks in their processes aren’t where they thought they were, thanks to using Invert for process automation.  Finally, Martin gives us his opinions on the future trends around the corner for the biotech industry - and how Invert is preparing themselves and their customers.  Data in Biotech is a fortnightly podcast exploring how companies leverage data innovation in the life sciences.
