#67 Roya Amini-Naieni: Building the Self-Driving Biology Lab
I sit down with Roya Amini-Naieni, co-founder and CEO of Trilo Bio, to talk about why 77% of biologists fail to reproduce their own experiments — and why affordable lab automation is the unlock for everything we can build with biology. The Trilo team is fixing this by building modular robots, software, and tooling from the ground up. We get into the rise of self-driving biology labs and why automation has to be decentralized if we want to build anything with biology.
Enjoy.
