Kymanox | February 06, 2023
Kymanox, a leading life science-focused professional services firm, recently announced the acquisition of anteris medical GmbH and anteris helvetia AG (collectively anteris). Anteris specializes in assisting the commercialization and development of medical equipment, combination and in-vitro diagnostic products.
This acquisition enables both firms to achieve their common organizational goal of geographic expansion while enhancing their service capabilities by offering clients a greater range of highly specialized services. Customers who bring essential biologics, such as pharmaceuticals, cell and gene therapies (C>s) and biosimilars, medical devices, and drug/device combos to global markets will benefit significantly from the combined service offerings and office locations of the combined firms. In addition, by merging the technological, scientific, and regulatory expertise of both organizations, customers will actually benefit from this synergy to ensure FDA, EMA, Notified Bodies, and other health authorities' compliance and submission excellence.
Anteris, with its offices in Holzkirchen, Germany, and Küssnacht a.R., Switzerland, offers resource-efficient and innovative solutions for end-to-end development, technical documentation, and compliance to the life science and medical device sectors. Members of Anteris' technical, quality, and regulatory teams have decades of collective expertise in combination product and device development, with a focus on biosimilar development and registration, MDR, EU, CE marking, 510(k) submissions, and quality systems regulations across all key markets.

Scientist.com | February 02, 2023
On February 1, 2023, Scientist.com, the biopharma industry's largest R&D marketplace, announced the release of a new iOS mobile app. The app provides a new, easy-to-use, on-the-go experience for purchase request approvals and compliance. In addition, iPhone users receive untethered notifications for accepting, delegating, and clarifying requests without needing to use their computers. The result is speedier approvals and fewer delays in scientific discovery.
Scientist.com has spent the past fourteen years developing a digital marketplace that allows scientists to devote more time to science and less time to paperwork. The platform enables researchers to test more ideas in less time and at a lesser cost. It digitizes a company's complete research activities, automatically tracking purchases, contract management, payment processing, and generating business intelligence reports.
Scientist.com Founder and CTO Chris Petersen commented, "One of the major barriers to drug discovery is the time it takes to ensure all compliance measures are met for a given research project, and understandably so." He added, "Our goal in building the Compliance Mobile App is to put compliance in the pocket of approvers, therefore minimizing the time it takes for researchers to move through the R&D process."
