Thinking about outsourcing R&D? Outsourcing research and development to an experienced service provider can pay off for companies that need innovation. We have found seven reasons why it might make sense to work with BRAINBiocatalysts´ Services.

1. Accelerated enzyme or bioprocess development

We know that speed matters. Our efficient and solution-oriented approach ensures rapid results. The technologies we use, such as genome editing, bioinformatics and the use of AI, also help to shorten development times.  

2. Cost reduction

Outsourcing R&D services can result in significant cost savings. Fixed and variable costs for salaries, equipment and materials can be reduced by paying only for the services that are really used. 

3. Maintain control

We discuss and agree a scientific project plan with our clients, discuss terms and provide a binding cost outline. Our projects are managed in stages, with the client able to make go/no-go decisions at each stage. If necessary, we jointly adjust the work packages based on the results. Customers may receive intellectual property for their specific solution. The intellectual property and background knowledge remain with the originating partner.   

4. Benefit from many years of expertise

For more than 30 years, BRAIN Biotech has provided its customers with in-depth expertise in enzyme technology, microbial strain development and bioprocess development. Companies benefit from this expertise and technology solutions without having to invest in building it themselves. 

5. Increase revenues and innovate by accessing technologies and strains

The wide range of technologies we use allows us to combine them in ingenious ways to solve even the most complex challenges. In addition, we have proprietary technology platforms, such as MetXtra and our Microbial Value Collections as well as our CRISPR-BMC genome editing tool, which our customers get access to.

6. Get solutions that pay-off

Our approach ensures that each client receives a customized solution - never a one-size-fits-all approach. At the same time, we provide standardized technology building blocks for fast, cost-effective results through our "Pick & Choose" model. 

Not every problem requires complexity! Simplicity can be a powerful advantage. We also adapt our business model to our customers' needs. 

7. Get support with public funding

We are experienced in coordinating and applying for public funding and research grants. 

Why work with BRAINBiocatalysts?

Whether you need a single specialist service or an integrated development partner, BRAINBiocatalysts combines scientific expertise, proprietary technologies and scalable development capabilities to help you move from concept to industrial application more efficiently.
