The industrial biosciences division of a global specialty chemicals company wanted to deepen its R&D capabilities. Its team developed solutions using bio-engineered chemicals and biomaterials for food, detergents, textiles, bio-fuels, and personal care products.

The company sought to enhance collaboration across its distributed global R&D team. The goal: enable faster time-to-market from discovery to production.

Infosys developed a Web-based Intranet application leveraging the Bio Java framework to register and store R&D results, enabling easy access for the global R&D team via advanced search facilities.

The Solution

Knowledge sharing for R&D

Our solution enables the R&D team to collaborate from discovery to production. It accelerates discovery of new molecules and identification of gene of interest (GOI). The application also supports test formulations for large-scale production.

Advanced screening and re-engineering enzymes enable R&D team to develop new applications

Global R&D platform facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing

  • Co-creation of prototypes, design with R&D and IT stakeholders
  • Collaborative agile execution model and joint governance

Benefits

Global R&D team benefits from superior knowledge management and sharing

Our solution digitized the discovery-to-production lifecycle with an R&D platform:

Gene of interest (GOI) database

Enables chemists to collaborate on experiments where they evaluate and study genes

Advanced search

BLAST algorithm allows chemists to search, match, and sequence proteins from a vast database
