In this special episode, Sapio Sciences Vice President Product and Pre-Sales Rob Brown, M.Sc., Ph.D., speaks with SLAS Scientific Director Lesley Mathews, Ph.D., to discuss how AI, large language models and a unified data platform revolutionize scientific informatics. Rob explains the benefits of a single data object and unified platform that streamlines data analysis and integrates seamlessly with lab equipment.

Sapio's virtual assistant, ELaiN®, leverages natural language for more efficient lab workflows, allowing scientists to focus on complex tasks. The conversation highlights Sapio's mission to improve patient outcomes by enhancing scientists' productivity through innovative software solutions.

Key Learning Points:

  • The benefits of using a single data object as a source of truth for sample data
  • How Sapio's platform incorporates large language models (LLMs) to automate tasks and facilitate natural language interactions
  • Ways to boost efficiency and productivity by integrating AI, data science and equipment handling compared to using separate solutions
