Overwatch Research, one of Northern Ireland’s most successful startups, has been bought by a Californian tech company for an undisclosed sum.
New parent company Benchling said the move will help digitalise the development of drugs by replicating biomedical research, doing away with paper notebooks and spreadsheets which are relied upon by many scientists at present.
Overwatch creates software which accelerates so-called in vivo research, collecting data which makes preclinical trials more accurate.
