Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 15th Annual
Automation in Protein Discovery
January 19-20, 2027
Automation continues to transform protein science workflows, driving greater reproducibility, scalability, and speed across discovery and development. As laboratories advance toward more intelligent and autonomous systems, the integration of robotics, AI-driven experimental design, and real-time analytics enables more adaptive and data-connected research environments. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 15th Annual Automation in Protein Discovery Conference explores how next-generation automation technologies are reshaping protein expression, purification, and characterization, with a focus on high-throughput systems, autonomous laboratories, and AI-enabled workflow optimization. Attendees will hear how experts are designing integrated platforms that streamline end-to-end discovery, reduce variability, and support more predictive, data-driven protein science.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
AUTONOMOUS AND AI-ORCHESTRATED LABORATORY SYSTEMS
- Self-driving laboratories and autonomous experimentation
- AI-driven experimental design
- Closed-loop design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycles
HIGH-THROUGHPUT AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS
- Robotic liquid handling and automated platforms
- High-throughput screening, processing, and sample management
- Microfluidics-enabled modular automation systems
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES
INTELLIGENT DATA SYSTEMS AND LAB INFORMATICS
- AI-driven workflow analytics
- LIMS/ELN integration with automation systems
- Real-time data capture, tracking, and QC
END-TO-END PROTEIN DISCOVERY WORKFLOWS
- Automated workflows from expression to characterization
- Integrated purification and analytical workflows
BEST PRACTICES AND CASE STUDIES
- Scaling automation and high-throughput systems
- Integrated and autonomous discovery platforms
- Implementation strategies for reproducible science
The deadline for priority consideration is June 26, 2026.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
