About
Dr. Jessica Janson is a leading researcher in laboratory automation and robotics for the life sciences, with a particular focus on bridging the gap between industrial automation and complex biological workflows. Her most influential work, "Application of a Dual-Arm Robot in Complex Sample Preparation and Measurement Processes" (2016, 60 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in life science automation. While high-throughput screening has achieved remarkable automation, Janson identified that intricate sample preparation and measurement tasks—often requiring dexterous manipulation and adaptive decision-making—remain stubbornly manual. Her pioneering research demonstrates how dual-arm robotic systems can replicate the nuanced, multi-step processes traditionally performed by skilled technicians, enabling a new level of precision and reproducibility in complex assays. This work has laid the foundation for more flexible, human-like automation in laboratories, moving beyond rigid, single-purpose systems. By tackling the "last mile" of lab automation, Janson’s contributions are instrumental in accelerating drug discovery, clinical diagnostics, and personalized medicine, making her a key figure in the evolution of intelligent, adaptive laboratory robotics.
