Lab Management
Traditional laboratories—small, separate rooms with not much light and few amenities—began their transformation more than a decade ago. The consensus was that researchers working in isolation or within a single, narrow discipline fostered neither creativity nor innovation.
Ohio State plays key role in launch of I-Corps@Ohio.
Carnegie Mellon University has funded six new brain research projects through its ProSEED grant program. Part of CMU’s BrainHubSM initiative, the projects range from creating advanced diagnostics for mild traumatic brain injury and developing a high resolution, portable electroencephalogram (EEG), to studying how the brain responds to mechanical stimuli and creating computational methods to study neuroscience data.
Problem: According to the Allotrope Foundation, “Underpinning every experiment, every scientific decision, and every regulatory submission is data generated by a scientist using an instrument in the laboratory.” These mountains of analytical data are analyzed and interpreted in global R&D laboratories to help evaluate, identify, and characterize compounds and formulations.
Government needs to simplify the plethora of schemes aiming to facilitate business-industry research collaboration across all disciplines, according to a new review published today by Professor Dame Ann Dowling DBE FREng FRS, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
From the ancient prophets of the Bible to Nostradamus in the Middle Ages to modern day “psychics,” people have always had a natural curiosity about the future, and just about everyone has speculated as to what it will be like. However, even modest predictions that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time have a way of missing the mark—the one thing that we know for certain about the future is that it will bring change in unexpected ways.
Contest will see startup companies develop new ways to improve innovation in life sciences R&D
$1 billion will create first large-scale program to overhaul early detection of lethal cancers
Fast-track recruitment of 250-300 scientists set to launch.
Today’s ever-increasing reimbursement constraints have resulted in an environment where eliminating unnecessary write-offs and minimizing bad debt can be the difference between making and losing money. It is more important than ever for labs to optimize billing practices and procedures to thrive in this highly competitive market.
