About

Benjamin J. Keller is a researcher at the forefront of open-source laboratory automation, dedicated to making biomedical and bioindustrial research more replicable and scalable. His key contributions center on developing accessible software and hardware solutions that democratize automation for academic labs. Keller’s most-cited work, "Aquarium: open-source laboratory software for design, execution and data management" (2021, 42 citations), addresses a critical barrier: few academic labs can afford the time and cost of robotic automation. By providing a free, integrated platform for experiment design, execution, and data tracking, Aquarium enables researchers to standardize repetitive workflows without expensive equipment, directly improving replicability. This work reflects Keller’s broader impact in bridging the gap between cutting-edge automation and resource-limited labs. His achievements highlight a commitment to open science and practical tools that empower researchers to focus on discovery rather than manual labor. For students and researchers, Keller’s work offers a pathway to more efficient, reproducible science through community-driven innovation.
