What is the Lab of the Future? | A New Series Exploring the Lab of the Future (Sponsored by TheWell Bioscience)
Welcome to the first episode of our new series: "Lab of the Future."
We begin this series by centering our discussion on the foundation of this evolutionary concept:
- What is the “Lab of the Future”?
- What does the Lab of the Future look like for academia vs industry?
- What barriers are preventing people from utilizing current technologies in unique ways?
- What role does academia have in training individuals for the Lab of the Future?
Our guests for this momentous episode are Rishi Mahajan, M.S., lead R&D engineer at Regeneron, and Mike Tarselli, Ph.D., chief scientific & knowledge officer at TetraScience. Listen as they exchange their viewpoints on the current state of the concept and share their predictions and prospective outlook for the Lab of the Future.
