Turning Life Science into Data Science | Mark Fischer-Colbrie from Strateos

The promise of the Information Age has materialized dramatically in many sectors—most notably, commerce and entertainment. But for some fields, the progress has been slower.

Life sciences is perhaps a prime example. Mark Fischer-Colbrie describes life sciences as an “…1850 artisan-style of operation that needs to be brought up to today’s standards.” That’s why he joined Strateos as the CEO in 2019.

In this edition of Uptech Report, Mark discusses how Strateos is turning life science into information science with what they call the “cloud lab.” It’s an information workflow system that could enable scientific advancements to come faster, cheaper, and more often.
