Thermo Fisher And NVIDIA Partner To Bring AI-Powered Automation To Scientific Laboratories, Enabling Intelligent Lab Workflows

Thermo Fisher Scientific has entered into a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to bring artificial intelligence, driven solutions and large-scale laboratory automation into research environments. By combining NVIDIA’s AI platform with Thermo Fisher’s scientific instruments and digital infrastructure, the partnership aims to improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of laboratory operations while reducing the need for manual intervention.

Many laboratory processes today still rely heavily on manual work, from experiment design and sample preparation to instrument operation and data interpretation. Through this collaboration, Thermo Fisher and NVIDIA plan to modernize these workflows by connecting instruments, lab systems, and data to powerful AI software that can support scientists in designing experiments, running analyses, and drawing insights more quickly and reliably.

“Artificial intelligence coupled with laboratory automation will transform how scientific work is performed,” said Gianluca Pettiti, Executive Vice President. “By combining Thermo Fisher’s leadership in laboratory technologies with NVIDIA’s digital and AI solutions, we can help customers work faster, improve accuracy and get more value out of each experiment, ultimately accelerating discoveries that can have a significant human impact.”

Thermo Fisher will integrate its expertise in laboratory instruments and software with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure, including DGX Spark supercomputers and models such as NVIDIA NeMo and BioNeMo. This combination is intended to enable more intuitive, AI-enabled interactions between scientists and their instruments, making advanced technologies easier to use and more widely accessible.

“We are entering the era of ‘lab-in-the-loop’ science where the trinity of AI, agents and instruments will be able to scale scientific discovery at an industrial pace,” said Kimberly Powell, Vice President of Healthcare at NVIDIA. “Working with Thermo Fisher, we are building the fundamental infrastructure of autonomous labs, creating a powerful research and discovery flywheel accelerating the pace of life sciences breakthroughs.”

The partnership strengthens Thermo Fisher’s position as a provider of advanced tools and services for life science research. By embedding AI across its ecosystem and working with leading technology partners, the company aims to create a more connected and intelligent laboratory environment that significantly boosts productivity and accelerates scientific discovery.
