Vicente Catalán
Lab Consulting
A benchmark in the world of laboratories
PhD in Biochemistry with extensive knowledge in biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbiology, Vicente Catalán is at the forefront of innovation in the field of testing and quality control laboratories. From his beginnings as an analyst to his leadership roles in leading companies such as LABAQUA, SUEZ-UK, and SUEZ NWS in China, Vicente Catalán has amassed significant experience in technical, commercial, and business development.
His passion for research and innovation has led him to collaborate with the Spanish National Accreditation Body Entity and to work in the academic environment at the University of Alicante.
But his vision goes further; he sees the laboratories of the future as predictive analytical services based on digitalization and artificial intelligence.
The laboratory of the future will be predictive rather than descriptive, supported by digitalization, artificial intelligence, and real-time, in-situ measurement
All of this leads to a progressive evolution of our conventional laboratories in that direction, encompassing technical aspects, processes, and quality systems.
