The subject of digital transformation is actually about you.

Your science, your everyday work environment, your partnerships and collaborations, and the impact of your work on the future of scientific progress.

Welcome to this book.

As a brilliant astronomer, Maria Mitchell once said, “mingle the starlight with your lives and you won't be fretted by trifles.”

The greater meaning of digital transformation shifts the perspective toward the global scheme of things. The main evaluating factors behind the lab digitalization and digital transformation answer important questions: Are we improving the quality, efficiency, and the pace of innovation?
