I am an accomplished research scientist and laboratory automation expert holding a Ph.D. in Cell Biology and an M.Sc. in Biochemistry. Combining a deep, foundational understanding of complex biological systems with nearly two decades of hands-on technical expertise in liquid handling robotics. A strategic team leader with a proven track record of guiding cross-functional scientific teams, optimizing high-throughput laboratory workflows, and driving research innovation from the bench to automated scale. Now I work as a Chief automation officer at a biotech company in Stockholm, Sweden.
Feel free to reach out to me to discuss liquid handling challenges and ideas.
Hi All, I’ve been lurking on the forum for a bit but realized I haven’t introduced myself here properly yet. I’m an engineer/scientist with a background in biomechanics. I’ve been involved with lab automation in one form or another for about 15 years now. I started out at Illumina but have worked at several startups since then including Counsyl/Myriad. I’m in the San Francisco bay area. I’ve worked on most of the major liquid handling platforms and have done a lot of work on systems integration. Currently I’ve Co-founded a company to provide bespoke ai-enabled solutions for lab automation customers. Which is a fancy way of saying I’m an independent lab automation consultant with a focus on leveraging new AI approaches. Our team is small right now, just myself and a couple of software engineers.
Hi All, I have been working a lab automation for 5 years. I am an engineer/scientist with a background in physics and biomedical engineering. Most of my experience is with Hamilton Star and Vantage, but I am also familiar with sptLabTech and Integra. I am striving for reliable, repeatable user friendly automation experiences that build trust with my bench colleagues while offering the flexibility they need for their projects.
Hi Gang,
I’m Andy, and apparently I’m quite late in discovering this forum. I’ve been working with lab automation for ~18 years in various roles around the US (mostly in academia), and recently started as the automation specialist at a core-facility in Zürich, CH. Prior to this, I was part of a small team teaching an automated biology graduate program in Pittsburgh, PA for 6 years.
I got my start in this field accidentally, but I’m still having fun automating all these years later.
Have been in the industry in the past years doing a lot of Opentrons automation. My goal here is to explore how others have been bridging the gap between robot & data capture. Automating it and creating a full end to end system to run experiments. Currently building sous.bio - your sous chef in the lab
I’m founder/ceo at AmpliSynth.
We integrate DNA synthesis into automated workflows, so the scale of discovery that is possible increases by several orders of magnitude. Think automated AI drug discovery, on-demand same-day gene synthesis, and synthetic biology meets hobbyist 3D printing. My goal is to push synthetic biology beyond an exploratory science, and for it to become a true engineering and “modulatable” discipline.
Based in London, and a big fan of a pint. Definitely feel at home with these type of forums, so look forward to posting/reading!
