Open question for biotech/lab automation engineers/scientists: A liquid-handler protocol can take an automation engineer a full day to program. The run itself finishes in under an hour. We've had these robots since the 1980s, yet programming the experiment is still the hard part.

Participated in Ginkgo Bioworks Virtual Cell(VCPI) hackathon last month and explored the question: which drug-response model is "best" at predicting a cell's reaction to unseen chemistry?

Just listened to Luis Villa @lvilla.bsky.social, lab automation engineer at Cellares, on the Discovery Engines's podcast dated 2025. Best primer on lab automation I've heard. A few ideas that stuck: #labautomation #biotech

How will AI & chemistry intersect in 2050? And what does the future hold for science in the age of AI? AC Director @aspuru.bsky.social explores the history of chemistry & materials science to imagine the future & a possible new era of materials by design. Read the essay: amacad.org/publication/...

“You sit in between three of the biggest problems in the [biotech] industry.” I love this insight from @lvilla.bsky.social – co-founder of Bay Area Lab Automators – on why a career in biotech lab automation is so compelling. Catch the full conversation here: youtu.be/oT8VnQ_UNNo

would love to participate in lab automation events/hackathons in the future. Is it possible to join remotely ?

The Translation Gap (In Silico → In Vivo) 1. Overall drug therapeutic probability of success from pre-clinical to approval is ~10%. A 90% failure rate.

autonomous labs reminds me of this historical moment:

Refusal-first also has serious commercial costs. As an R&D leader, it is hard to justify software that creates daily blocking issues for my team. Even the most AI-pilled biologist will rage quit a model that routinely refuses innocuous requests. And most biologists aren’t AI-pilled,they’re skeptics.

The wildest frontier in AI isn't chatbots, it's biology. - Designing proteins from scratch. - Simulating cells in silico. - Genome language models. - Robot scientists running 24/7. AI just turned biology from a read-only field into read/write. 🧬

Cloud labs have historically been a difficult market to crack but the possibility of AI models running closed-loop experiments with autonomous labs changes the game entirely

Science is thought of as this very precious genius thing, but really what it is is formalized human curiosity. What blocks people from science isn’t the thinking, it’s the lab. You can’t get access to one. Remove the lab as bottleneck. Drop the cost. Make the interface natural language.

Day 7 of visiting Bangalore's Biotech hubs and startups with @furstfly.bsky.social We visited Avay Biosciences and had interesting discussions regarding the future of autonomous wetlabs and biotech. really enjoyed talking to COO/co-founder of Avay Biosciences, Suhridh. 🔬🥼

anyone made a p2p distributed compute on WebGPU yet? would love a zero-install "compute with friends" @bmann.ca @hugomrdias.bsky.social can we put EverywhereComputer in a browser tab?

Mojo's "library" approach to performance engineering feels novel and useful. Reminds me of the "Impact of Economics on Compiler Optimization" paper. www.modular.com/blog/mojo-li... dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1...
