Online Discussion | Thursday, April 16 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. CDT
Join us for the SLAS Technology Idea Exchange (TIE), facilitated by Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks. He will share an insider’s view of how leading organizations are deploying automation today, along with a clear framework for Levels of Laboratory Autonomy (LoLA), spanning from basic task automation to systems that can design, run and optimize experiments with minimal human oversight.
Anchored in real programs from Ginkgo and across the broader ecosystem, the discussion will highlight what is unlocking step-change gains in speed, cost and reproducibility, as well as where adoption is accelerating most rapidly and the strategic, technical and organizational hurdles innovators must navigate.
