James Arpino is a product leader and research scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of synthetic biology, protein engineering, and lab automation, now serving as Director of Product Management at Synthace. He combines deep academic training (a PhD in Synthetic Biology and Protein Engineering) with hands-on roles spanning R&D, bioinformatics, and customer-facing technical sales to translate biological problems into automated, data-driven workflows. James has driven the practical adoption of Design of Experimentation on flexible automation platforms, helping life-science teams accelerate reproducible discovery in pharma, biotech and CDMOs. Known for bridging biology and software, he focuses on embedding biological process optimization into scalable digital products rather than treating automation as hardware-only. Colleagues rely on him to turn complex experimental needs into reprogrammable, cloud-enabled lab workflows that unlock faster iteration and insight.
