TORONTO, June 27, 2018 – BenchSci, an AI-powered search engine for biological products, has been ranked one of the top 25 up and coming technology companies on the Branham300, an annual list of the country’s top information and communications technology businesses.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized for our team’s hard work solving a profound problem with innovative machine learning technology,” said Liran Belenzon, CEO, BenchSci. “We appreciate the Branham Group for acknowledging our growth and efforts to accelerate biomedical discoveries by removing a major pain point for the world’s leading researchers.”
BenchSci’s ranking follows recent news of its Series A raise, in which it became the first medical technology and non-US company to receive funding from Gradient Ventures, Google's AI-focused venture fund.
BenchSci’s technology helps researchers find reliable antibodies faster and cheaper. Antibodies are essential to measuring the presence of proteins in drug discovery research. But there are more than 4 million to choose from, and many don’t work. BenchSci reads scientific papers the way a scientist would, decodes the antibody data within, and uses AI-assisted search to help researchers choose the optimal antibodies for their specific experiments.
The Branham300 is produced by the Branham Group Inc., a global information and communication technology industry analyst and strategic marketing company. It is the best-known and most widely referenced listing of the country’s top information and communications technologies companies. Its “Up and Coming” list ranks the top 25 companies that the Branham Group believes will be “big hits” soon.
