Lab management course

Learn best practices for lab project planning, data storage, research documentation, inventory management, lab safety, and more.

Experience in project management is not a prerequisite for scientific leaders, who may have risen the ranks after spending years as individual contributors, or come straight out of graduate programs.

As a result, scientists starting their own companies or entering commercial research often end up making avoidable mistakes.

That's why we made the Modern Lab course, in which industry experts provide sage advice that took them decades to learn, bridging the gap between science and management.
