Call for Participants [Conference on Super-Different Fields] Here we are! Automation of Life Science Research / March 5, 2021, 17:00-@Ota-ku, Tokyo
2021.03.04
Within the 10th Annual Conference of the Association of Hyperdifferent Fields, March 5-6, 2021 (Friday and Saturday), hosted by Liverness, a panel discussion, "We've Come This Far! Automation in Life Science Research" (session partner: Inner Resource Inc.
In research in the life science field, where human hands-on experimentation has been the norm, the trend toward automating experiments through the use of robots is spreading. In this field, where the results have sometimes been greatly affected by small tricks in human manipulation and judgment, automation has the potential to create an environment in which a large amount of experimental data can be obtained under the same conditions. In this session, we invite researchers who are involved in the automation of experiments in the context of experimental manipulation and data interpretation to discuss how far automation has come, the hurdles to further automation, and what life science research will look like when automation is advanced. The following topics will be discussed.
We will have a program of discussions among researchers, start-ups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are now accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).
*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.For more information
