“in the short term, what we're seeing actually is incremental more demand, which we expect to accelerate in the building of biologic models. Autonomous science is the current buzzword that refers to the building of biologic models, and of course, that requires automation, which we're very well represented in. It requires more analytical instruments and it requires more reagents as well. So that's the short-term impact as this practically new market segment of autonomous science starts to play out here, and that plays out first in discovery and then continues to accelerate through the development pipeline.”

“we think AI is going to be a growth accelerator for the pharma and biotech industry, both in the near and in the long term. And the reason for that is we think that AI will accelerate the drug development and commercialization flywheel and result in better development pipeline yields. So as you know, the average yield in the drug development pipeline today is just above 10%. There's an enormous opportunity here to improve the yield of the pipeline and to accelerate the biopharma flywheel along with the flywheels of life science tool providers like ourselves.”

“we're very well positioned here with our life science tools. I mentioned automation, analytical instruments that, of course, increasingly are AI-enabled reagents that support all of those models going forward. And that's a several year driver. These biologic models are in the single-digit percentage of information coverage required, very different than large language models. These biologic models require significantly more information in order to become general use type of model.”

“Beckman Coulter Life Sciences announced a strategic partnership with Automata, combining its liquid handling genomic and cell analysis technologies with Automata's AI-ready automation platform. This partnership is positioned to empower scientists with AI-driven tools in an automated workflows to improve throughput, workflow reliability and data integrity and increasingly autonomous research environment.”

“We are getting to the point, Jack, where DBS and AI are synonymous to us in terms of accelerating cycle times and driving efficiencies, and we bring those together. So we talk about AI-enabled DBS and DBS-enabled AI in one sentence, and that will continue to drive efficiencies. Let's just tee it up this way. As you think about the conversation I just had as it relates to the pharma development pipeline, think about Danaher's flywheel also being accelerated by AI-enabled DBS. That will result in more and better products that are AI-enabled, it's going to result in lower costs that we gained through efficiencies, and together, that's going to drive growth and earnings expansion going forward.”

“in the long term, what we're going to see is the cycle time of pharma development being compressed and the hit rate, i.e., the yield to be increased. And that flywheel is going to be very good for patients. It's going to be very good for the pharma industry and those partners like ourselves that support that industry. Now as you think about that going through development, Jack, sorry, just to finish up, of course, these more commercialized drugs means more business for our bioprocessing business.”

“a lot of these drugs are going to be more sophisticated. They are going to require more sophisticated, more accurate diagnostics. If they're not personalized diagnostics, they will require near personalized diagnostics to come online. So again, I start with the conclusion, which is AI is a tailwind in the short and in the long term and is healthy for all market participants, and of course, we're very well positioned there.”

“we also believe the emerging opportunity in AI will further accelerate the pharma development and commercialization flywheel, improving success rates, lowering development costs and driving increased demand. This in turn is expected to drive incremental demand for our Life Science solutions as well as in bioprocessing as commercial drug production expands.”
