Avoid Lab Shutdown: Strategies to Keep Your Lab Open

Webinar Overview

hello world!

Has COVID-19 disrupted your lab operations? Have you faced backorders, experiment delays, or uncertainty in reaching research milestones? We hosted a webinar to get tactical advice on navigating lab operations chaos.

In this webinar, we heard from the UCB R&D team on how they navigated through these challenges, effectively sourced the critical supplies needed for their experiments, and kept their research labs open and operational throughout the pandemic.

Specifically, we learned:

  • How the COVD-19 supply chain disruptions impacted scientific innovation in the UCB R&D lab
  • How did the UCB team manage and solve these challenges
  • What lessons were learned
  • Advice and strategies for other biopharma R&D teams
