Verena Mertes leads the strategic and technical direction of BioTech360, LabVantage’s semantic intelligence solution for life sciences. As a molecular biologist with a PhD in Technical Biochemistry and over 12 years of experience in digital transformation across biopharma R&D, she combines deep scientific expertise with practical systems knowledge. Her work focuses on connecting data, empowering scientific teams, and enabling AI-driven innovation.
BioTech360 is a semantic intelligence solution purpose-built for life sciences, designed to transform fragmented scientific data into a living, explainable knowledge network. Built on the SemantX platform, it integrates structured and unstructured data from lab systems, literature, public and proprietary databases, and ontologies, contextualizing information across molecular biology, chemistry, and other scientific domains. With prebuilt data models, modular scientific applications, and extensibility across content, ontologies, and use cases, BioTech360 addresses core challenges in R&D: disconnected data, missing context, and limited AI-readiness. It enables knowledge graphs, semantic search, explainable AI, and integrated analytics, accelerating discovery, enhancing traceability, and empowering smarter decisions. BioTech360 is fully configurable and extensible, and integrates seamlessly with the broader LabVantage ecosystem, including LIMS, ELN, and analytics platforms, ensuring continuity across scientific workflows and enterprise systems. Discover how BioTech360 unifies scientific intelligence across disciplines, making life sciences truly interoperable, contextualized, and AI-ready.
