Bob Gantzer, Director of Lab Automation at Beam Therapeutics joins us to talk about his trials and tribulations across his lab automation journey.

Here are some of the many golden threads of wisdom he speaks to:


How he became a lab automation guru by being a “flunky scientist”
Taking the hard lessons of automating in a large company and raising it to a fledgling biotech company
Why you must prioritize automation in your R&D
Lab automation is not a technical problem, it’s a people problem, and you have to sell the dream to scientists who aren’t trained with highly integrated robotics.

There’s a ton of helpful things Bob said about lab automation and how he learned to be successful at implementing it.
