Abstract
Moving into the future of laboratory automation: streamlining discovery, research and development in the life sciences with breakthrough technology
Pharmaceutical and biotech laboratories are undergoing an accelerated digital transformation as companies rely on automation, robotics and digital tools.
This panel discussion will provide tips on how to capitalize on data-driven, technology-enabled scientific environments. Panelists will talk about the progress that has been made, the common
challenges, and how to maintain the momentum of lab innovation to create smart, connected labs of the future.
What topics are covered?
- Realize ROI: Timely, structured and scalable approach to lab automation for consistent, incremental and increasing improvements
- Organizational assessment and change management: understanding existing lab capabilities, environment, history, politics and talent to optimize digital transformation
- How can we simplify lab automation and eliminate the intimidation associated with technology adoption and implementation?
- Harmonization and standardization: exploring the benefits and challenges of standardizing laboratory automation, scientific data, systems, processes and terminology
- Improving scientific collaboration: applying best practices to improve lab connectivity, managing open source versus closed source, and optimizing interoperability between instruments, platforms, workflows and users
- Exploring breakthrough technology trends in research and development: how can we stay ahead of the curve and how do we envision the future of labs?
- Assess the importance of developing collaborative partnerships: linking science, associations, users and providers to drive meaningful change
