Our story

The original idea for Multiply Labs came from Alice (our Co-founder and CSO), who was a visiting PhD candidate in MIT’s chemical engineering department.
Alice had been creating drugs by hand in the MIT-Novartis Center for Continuous Manufacturing. Since this manual process was very slow, Alice asked Fred (our Co-founder and CEO) – one of her friends at MIT – to tour the lab where he was conducting his PhD research. Fred was building robotic limbs for factory workers and people with disabilities at the time, and his workspace was littered with robotic appendages and 3-D printers. Alice saw these robotic systems at work, and had a “eureka moment”: only advanced automation can enable the production of personalized drugs.

The founders

ALICE MELOCCHI

Co-founder and CSO

Alice is the CSO and co-founder of Multiply Labs. Alice earned her PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology from the University of Milan after being a Visiting Scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working within the Novartis MIT center for Continuous Manufacturing. She has deep expertise in the development of innovative drug delivery systems.0 Alice had the original intuition of using robotics to manufacture individual drugs, which is at the core of Multiply Lab’s technology. Alice runs pharmaceutical research and development at the company and, together with Fred, has co-authored all of Multiply Lab’s IP and scientific publications. Her research has received several scientific awards, including the Best Paper Award in the Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology
