Expert Statements
Julie Sawyer Montgomery, President and Chief Executive Officer of Danaher
“The autonomous lab reflects the kind of progress Danaher is uniquely positioned to deliver”
Julie Sawyer Montgomery, President and Chief Executive Officer of Danaher
“By applying our science, technology and culture of continuous improvement, we can help turn promising ideas into validated systems faster. It is an important step toward a future where AI, automation and intelligent systems dramatically accelerate the journey from discovery to impact.”
JC Gutierrez-Ramos, Senior Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Danaher
“This lab represents a new model for scientific discovery, where AI, automation and human expertise work together in a continuous learning cycle”
JC Gutierrez-Ramos, Senior Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Danaher
“Speed is what supercharges that cycle. Every result sharpens the next design, so the faster each loop runs, the faster discovery compounds. The lab is designed to deliver up to eight times faster progress from idea to validated reagent and up to a tenfold increase in reagent generation, while scientists continue to make the key decisions. That frees them to focus on the complex scientific challenges where human insight matters most.”
