Multiply Labs raised a $75 million Series B led by NantWorks. AstraZeneca, Lingotto and Teradyne also joined the round. The company automates complex drug manufacturing with robotics. Its clusters cut cost per dose by 74% and boost throughput up to 100 times. The system is autonomous and GMP-compliant. It integrates with existing instruments without new facilities. The platform covers cell and gene therapy, antibodies, viral vectors and mRNA. Pharmaceutical companies own and operate the clusters themselves. The funds will expand capacity, accelerate the product roadmap and scale the team.
