Form Bio for Cell and Gene Therapy

Form was inspired by both the importance and the difficulty involved with developing new therapies and making them ready for market. Biotech company performance and success are predicated on finding the right potential therapies quickly, validating them quickly and moving them through trial and regulatory steps quickly. Indeed, time is money. But more than that, it’s discovery.

Cell and gene therapy companies are well known for attracting some of the most ambitious and accomplished minds in life science. But the computational requirements needed to reach the next breakthrough are severely limited by patchworks of difficult-to-manage custom code, siloed application and infrastructure components and antiquated processes. At Form, we understand these problems because we’ve developed our technology through months of close collaboration and consultation with leading thinkers in both science and technology.
