Drug discovery often moves at the speed of the tools behind it. As therapeutic approaches have become more sophisticated, researchers have increasingly relied on specialized, validated systems to test ideas faster and generate results with greater confidence.

In this Shaping Science episode, Veronique Baron shares how her team at BPS Bioscience has built and evolved research tools to keep pace with changing scientific questions, from early enzyme work to platforms supporting next-generation therapies.

Watch this episode to explore:

  • How scientists identify gaps in research workflows and turn them into practical, usable tools
  • What it’s like to work in a scientist-driven organization where learning, creativity, and collaboration are part of everyday work
  • How close partnerships between tool developers and researchers help accelerate discovery in fast-moving fields
