Steve Jobs once said that “the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology”; in this (r)evolution, the lab will most definitely play a key role.

When speculating on the future digital transformation of the life sciences R&D, one must consider how the whole lab environment and the science that goes on in that lab will inevitably evolve and change [1, 2]. It is unlikely that an R&D lab in 2030, and certainly in 2040, will look and feel like a comparable lab from 2020. So, what are the likely new big technologies and processes and ways of working that will make that lab of the future (LotF) so different? This section endeavors to introduce some of the new developments in technology and in science that we think will change and influence the life science lab environment over the upcoming decade.
