The design of the modern R&D lab may be due for a rethink.

Artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping how science gets done, yet many of the physical spaces where research happens were built around assumptions that date back decades.

In this episode of “The Top Line,” Fierce Life Sciences & Healthcare Editor-in-Chief Ayla Ellison speaks with Gensler Global Sciences Practice Area Leader Ryley Poblete about how automation, data and new research workflows are influencing lab design. As computational scientists, engineers and automated systems become more central to research teams, organizations are reconsidering how labs should be structured to support both focused work and collaboration across disciplines.
