Why we need more cross-industry collaboration in laboratory science

Laboratory science is built on discovery, but many sectors still work in isolation, missing opportunities for collaboration. With global challenges like public health and climate change at stake, it’s time to break down the silos. By sharing knowledge and approaches across industries, we can tackle these issues more effectively. We just need to be intentional, create spaces for collaboration, and overcome budget constraints. No one has all the answers, but together, we can get closer.
