Pre-Conference Courses List
Laboratory Flexibility – What is it? Why do I need it? How do I get it?
Presented by: Ryan Gregory, David Oberholzer, Lauren Richardson - Merrick Canada and Aurel Tamburri, University of Toronto
Everybody says they want a flexible lab, but what exactly does that mean? What makes a laboratory “flexible” and how can I make mine flexible without spending a pile of money and time? The last couple of years have emphasized the importance of adaptable, flexible solutions to accommodate changing needs for laboratory operations. This course will discuss practical concepts and lessons learned of laboratory design, facility operations, and biosafety/biosecurity from the perspectives of facility leaders, biosafety officers, operations personnel, and designers that can be applied to new and existing facilities and programs.
