Both of these statements are still very much in flux:

"Affordable lab robots from companies like OpenTrons mean you can do batch experiments without hiring an army of people, and computational drug discovery from companies like Atomwise allows some experiments to be done completely in silico."

I work in this field and I strongly recommend being extremely cautious making claims like this. You can't just get rid of lab techs when you use OpenTrons (instead, they spend their time debugging the robots), and in silico discovery of drugs is still fairly unreliable.
