Evaluating performance in a research lab - from data to decisions

Tobias Wingbermühle, Chief Commercial Officer, Clustermarket

Laboratories are one sector that can benefit most from standardization, especially when it comes to performance. Without strict guidelines or standards to abide by, labs are often forced to rely on themselves to figure out how to produce not just a high volume of relevant results but reproducible ones too. The difficulty with standardizing KPIs stems from the nature of scientific research, as performance criteria are nearly always different from lab to lab. With that in mind, there are still a few key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to the scientific continuum, complete with optimised methods of analysing and reporting them to help assess your lab’s level of efficiency.

In vivo studies: Building effective strategies to accelerate time to clinic

Andrew Smith | Leader, Business Development, Benchling

In vivo studies are an essential component of biopharmaceutical R&D that help teams understand drug pharmacology, safety, and toxicology. They sit on the critical path to bringing new drugs into the clinic, so it’s imperative to run them accurately, efficiently, and collaboratively. Yet many teams still struggle to manage the end-to-end process of running in vivo studies using spreadsheets, email, and outdated point solutions. Modern drug development teams require an in vivo solution that aligns with the specialized nature of vivarium work, yet also remains connected to their broader R&D programs. In this session, we will share some of the frequent challenges observed across the industry, followed by real-world examples of companies modernizing their in vivo programs. We'll provide insights on how to drive collaboration across R&D teams and accelerate time to clinic by leveraging connected, cloud-based R&D applications that facilitate sample transfers for bioanalysis and joining of data for scientific decision-making.
