Case Study: Umoja Biopharma achieves faster IND filings and better collaboration with Benchling

Transforming immunotherapy by making AI-ready data a first-class asset

Umoja Biopharma needed a more structured way to capture, find, share, and understand R&D data across teams, as their previous lab informatics setup made collaboration difficult and slowed adoption. To support a centralized system of record and improve user uptake, they turned to Benchling and its R&D informatics platform.

Benchling helped Umoja Biopharma standardize data capture with structured tables, templates, and workflows, creating a single source of truth across 11 R&D groups at 3 sites. The result was a 4x increase in high-activity usage of the platform, faster IND filings and audits, more confident data-driven decisions, and better cross-team collaboration—laying the groundwork for AI-ready data and future machine learning use.
