Culture currently provides cloud-connected software, Console™, which enables life science researchers to remotely design, monitor and analyze experiments conducted with the company’s cloud-connected 250mL and 5L bioreactors. By integrating Google Cloud tools like Gemini AI, BigQuery and Looker into Console™, Culture enhances its ability to empower life science teams with the advanced data management, automated process control and bioreactors they need to shape the future of experimental research. 

‍

Culture and Google Cloud are establishing a scalable Google Cloud architecture allowing the use of advanced data products such as Google’s BigQuery and Looker to enhance Culture’s Console experience. Through ongoing collaboration, the two companies intend to develop data manipulation and visualization capabilities enabled by Google Looker, natural language query with Gemini AI and, ultimately, a client-ready application available in the Google Cloud Marketplace. 

‍

"The Google Cloud SaaS Accelerator Team is excited to collaborate with Culture on its journey to transform life science research. By bringing the power of Google Cloud to Culture's Console, scientists can accelerate bioprocess development through the revolutionary use of data for novel experiment design," said Kiran Inampudi, Google Cloud SaaS Accelerator.
