“SciSure has significantly reduced my workload and time required to record experimental results and data. Additionally, it enables me to retrieve other researchers’ data and manage inventory more efficiently. This improvement in research efficiency is crucial for startup biotechs like Kaigene, allowing us to focus more on innovation and increase overall productivity.”

- Junho Cho, Principal Scientist at Kaigene

About Kaigene

Kaigene is committed to advancing therapeutic antibody and fusion protein development to address the significant unmet clinical needs of rare autoimmune diseases. By leveraging cutting-edge science, Kaigene aims to improve the lives of patients by delivering breakthrough treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of autoimmune disorders.

The company operates three key departments: antibody discovery, antibody engineering, and bioanalysis. With a growing team of 13 employees, Kaigene continues to expand, recruiting talented researchers to drive innovation in immunotherapy.  

Goals

Enhancing efficiency and collaboration

• Eliminate redundant documentation efforts and reduce time spent on recordkeeping.

• Improve accessibility and retrieval of research data to enhance collaboration.

• Provide an integrated system for organizing and tracking laboratory inventory.  

• Support the company’s growth by ensuring scalable and efficient lab operations.

Challenge

Before adopting SciSure, Kaigene relied on a combination of Microsoft Office tools and physical lab notebooks to record research plans, experiment results, and reports. This dual-documentation approach required researchers to maintain records in both electronic and paper formats, a time-consuming process that sometimes took several hours or even an entire day to complete.  

Additionally, data retrieval posed a significant challenge. Researchers struggled to access past records efficiently, both for their own use and for collaboration with colleagues. As the company continued to expand, the need for a more streamlined, digital solution became evident.

Solution

Time savings and improved workflow

By switching to SciSure, Kaigene drastically reduced the time required for data recording. Researchers no longer needed to duplicate records across multiple formats, freeing up valuable time to focus on scientific discovery.  

Enhanced data accessibility and collaboration

With SciSure, retrieving past data became significantly easier. Team members could quickly locate experimental results, facilitating knowledge sharing and collaboration across departments.  

Streamlined inventory management

The platform’s inventory management capabilities allowed Kaigene to efficiently track and organize research materials, reducing the risk of lost or misplaced samples and ensuring smooth laboratory operations.  

Looking ahead

Kaigene plans to continue leveraging SciSure to document experimental results and securely store raw data. As the company grows, maintaining a well-organized and efficient digital lab environment will remain essential in driving scientific breakthroughs.
