Out of Work, Not Ideas
Leveraging Automation in Life Sciences: A Blog by Esteban Manuel Carabajal
Hi there! I'm Esteban Manuel Carabajal, a life science professional with a decade of experience in high throughput screening and automation engineering. Recent industry layoffs have prompted me to create this blog as a platform to stay engaged with the exciting world of screening and automation.
Topics I'll Be Exploring:
Improved Disease Models for Screening: Let's delve into how we can make disease models more relevant and effective for screening purposes.
The AI Revolution in Drug Discovery: Artificial intelligence is transforming drug discovery. We'll discuss why automation is crucial to harness its full potential.
GUI vs. Coding for Liquid Handlers: Which is better? We'll compare the pros and cons of using a graphical user interface versus coding for liquid handlers.
The Limits of Automation: While automation is powerful, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. We'll explore scenarios where automation might not be the best approach.
My Expertise:
I've accumulated a wealth of knowledge in automation throughout my career. I can provide:
Case studies and solutions for various experiment scales.
Insights into cutting-edge technological solutions you might not be aware of.
Expertise in liquid dispensing at incredibly small volumes.
Guidance on automation workflows and the tools available.
Join the Conversation:
I'm eager to hear from you! Share your thoughts on:
The reasons your lab hasn't embraced automation yet.
Your definition of automation and its significance to you.
Automation solutions you've used that you think I might not know about.
The ideal combination of wet lab and dry lab steps for maximum efficiency.
Let's Connect and Innovate:
I hope this blog will foster insightful discussions, collaborations, and new ideas. Together, we can advance the field of automation in life sciences. Stay tuned for future posts!
