Lucius Kemp, MS, is Scientific Director at Biosero, where he works closely with customers to design and validate scalable, workflow‑centric laboratory automation solutions. With nearly 30 years of experience in laboratory automation and automated research workflows, Lucius brings deep expertise across drug discovery, materials science, and applied automation. His career spans leadership and specialist roles at organizations including Merck KGaA, MilliporeSigma, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Chemspeed, and Mettler Toledo, and he is widely recognized for translating complex scientific processes into practical, high‑impact automated workflows.
As AI accelerates scientific discovery, laboratories face growing pressure to generate more data, run more experiments, and ensure reproducibility. Yet technology alone rarely delivers successful automation.In this presentation, Lucius Kemp will explore the elements needed to scale laboratory operations, including automation strategy, team structure, operating models, change management, and organizational readiness. Drawing on real-world experience, he will discuss common barriers and practical approaches for moving from isolated projects to integrated, high-performing laboratory environments.Attendees will gain a framework to assess their current state and build a scalable path toward more connected, efficient, future-ready research operations.
