Transfyr, a Cambridge-based startup, raised a $25 million seed round to apply artificial-intelligence techniques for improving scientific reproducibility and extracting laboratories’ tacit knowledge. The company aims to codify undocumented experimental insights and provide reproducibility checks across research workflows. Its funding round positions Transfyr to develop tools that directly address the reproducibility crisis in the life-sciences sector.
