Surprisingly, technological advancements have led to stronger collaboration, not replacement, within labs. Machines handle the data at lightning speed, while experts interpret results with keen human insight.

In fact, technology empowers human roles, granting specialists the bandwidth to delve deeper into complex cases. But there’s an interesting twist—this integration also demands a significant shift in skill sets and training.

The implications are profound: will future labs depend equally on robots and humans, or will the scales tip? Discover how labs are adapting to these changes on the next page.
