Making biological matter computable and testable, at scale, and by any scientist.
Dr Benji Lin
Benji leads the Autonomous Labs. His focus is on accelerating the impact of scientific breakthroughs in the real world.
Before joining EIT, Benji served as an Associate Partner at McKinsey where he led both the Product Development for Medtech/Healthtech and Molecular and Material discovery service lines. He has worked closely with globally leading medical device, technology and energy & materials companies to translate scientific/ clinical breakthroughs to impactful tools and products in the hands of both scientists and clinicians.
Benji holds a PhD in synthetic chemistry from Harvard University with a focus on bioinspired organometallic (e.g., surrogates for nitrogenase/FeMoCo) clusters.

Careers inAI & Robotics Institute
By applying and extending frontier AI and robotic methods, the AI & Robotics Institute hopes to accelerate breakthrough scientific discoveries. This work is driven by the aim of exploiting the rich potential of biomolecular foundation models in areas such as bacterial genomics and the structure and dynamics of enzymes. Another area of focus is combining advanced AI models with robotic systems to run AI-guided experiments, including building the data and computing infrastructure that supports them. This enables ideas to be generated, tested, and refined in a rigorous and repeatable fashion. These groundbreaking technologies are designed in such a way as to enable scaling and translation into sustainable solutions that change society. The AI & Robotics Institute is strengthened through its close collaboration with the University of Oxford, including via a Centre for Doctoral Training funded by EIT. Our experts work across disciplines and are supported by access to large-scale compute and rich datasets.

"I'm very excited about EIT because of this vision of attacking the problems end-to-end, starting from research to building a pipeline all the way to a product, to the way to deliver that product. It's a very unique vision and opportunity to be part of this whole cycle of delivery and impact. At EIT, AI researchers work hand-in-hand with domain scientists, ensuring that AI models are developed to address problems of societal value."
