Modern biological methods often require a large number of experiments to be conducted. For example, dissecting molecular pathways involved in a variety of biological processes in neurons and non-excitable cells requires high-throughput compound library or RNAi screens. Another example requiring large datasets - modern data analysis methods such as deep learning. These have been successfully applied to a number of biological and medical questions. In this talk we will describe an open-source platform allowing such experiments to be automated. The platform consists of an XY stage, perfusion sy
