Unscrewing caps, trypsinizing cells, taking off lids, pressing "start" and "stop" buttons - bench science is full of tasks that are incredibly hard to automate. It's great to see a company tackling this challenge and I think that it'll have an exponential impact on drug dev.

Picasso said "when art critics get together, they talk about form structure and meaning. when artists get together, they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine" Research is similar! Excited to have backed Medra from the beginning to invent physical AI to automate the lab
