Top SchoolZachary Milot is a Senior Scientist Automation Engineer with 11 years of experience applying lab automation, integration, and process optimization across biotech and pharmaceutical settings. He has led multi-platform automation standardization at Vertex and Sanofi, built high-throughput LC-MS and Flow Cytometry workflows, and implemented version control and telemetry systems that materially cut assay time and downtime. As co-founder and Director of Marketing at Lab Automators he blends technical depth with community building, growing a 50,000-member database and forging global industry partnerships that increased revenue and event reach. His background spans hands-on assay development—electrochemiluminescence siRNA quantification and AccQ-Fluor automation—to systems engineering work integrating LIMS, OSISoft PI, and custom hardware. Notably, he pairs bench-level innovation (reducing prep time by 70% and converting multi-day workflows to hours) with production-grade automation governance, creating reproducible, auditable lab systems. Based in Boston with a B.S. in Biology from Boston University, he brings a rare mix of experimental rigor, automation engineering, and strategic communication.
