New HQ for developer of world's first fully automated drug discovery platform

End-to-end robotic platform provides biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical corporations and academic centres with cost-effective and reproducible drug discovery data.

At the heart of the new scientific facility is the next-generation, fully automated platform developed by the drug discovery experts, engineers and roboticists at Arctoris. The platform efficiently generates reproducible data from biochemical, cell-based and molecular biology assays. The rapid turnaround enables shorter cycle times – and therefore more design-make-test-analyse iterations – for their drug discovery partners. This end-to-end robotic platform provides biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical corporations and academic centres with cost-effective and reproducible drug discovery data – all through an online portal that streamlines experiment planning, ordering, tracking and data analysis.

Martin-Immanuel Bittner, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Arctoris, said: “Investing in new global headquarters and greatly enhanced R&D facility in our home city of Oxford, UK, an internationally-renowned centre of scientific excellence, demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering the highest standards of data available to our partners. This state-of-the-art home for our next-generation robotic platform enables our growing team of experts to provide scientists across the globe with access to reproducible data through a rapid and fully-validated approach to drug discovery.”

Having settled into its new headquarters, Arctoris will continue delivering high quality, reproducible drug discovery data to its customers through access to a library of validated drug discovery protocols designed to support hit-to-lead analysis, lead optimisation, mechanistic profiling and additional preclinical studies. This will enable scientists to make rapid, informed decision-making in basic biology, target validation, toxicology and phenotypic screening for drug characterisation, optimisation and selection.
