AI-driven labs
Automated and autonomous labs where software, robots and models run experiments together. Where I've spent my career.
Carter Allen · lab automation, data & AI
Turning automation, data and AI into working science.
Seven years building and running automated labs for biopharma, diagnostics and research, most recently as founding application engineer at Monomer Bio. Now looking for what's next.
What I'm interested in
Impactful life sciences, using today's tools to build a healthier world.
Data & AI for discovery
Getting lab data out of silos and into a shape that AI can actually learn from, so discovery moves faster.
AI for health
Tools that help patients, caregivers and clinicians, built with the same care as a validated lab process.
Now
I stepped away from Monomer in July 2026 to care for a family member, and used the time to go deep on applied AI: the Deep Atlas ML intensive and building my own tools with AI agents.
I'm open to conversations with teams in lab automation, AI for science and AI for health. Based in San Francisco.
