Requirements Analysis and Business Process Mapping for Lab Optimization led by David Hessler & Semaphore Solutions
For thirty years ELN products have been used by research and development labs, and today the still often are not delivering on their promise. Why is this? One answer is that you first need a map of how data is generated, progresses, and is consumed inside and outside your labs. In this workshop, we take a hands-on approach to analysis of the subsystems which produce and analyze data, and we produce easy-to-understand business process mapping which defines the actors, systems, and data which make up the informatics ecosystem. If you want to really leverage the value of an ELN, you need a map which describes the high-quality touch points, and the high risk integrations.
Building No-Code LLM Workflows for Your Lab led by Raminderpal Singh, Ph.D.
AI adds to automation, and LLMs add to AI. But, without some insider know-how, integrating these tools into experimental workflows can be complex and lead to much technical debt. And when software IT folks are not available, it can be frustrating. In this lab, we’ll get our hands dirty learning about the world of “no-code” LLM tools. This will give you a clear understanding for how they can help you build and run better experiments. We will cover methods to ensure data privacy & security. Coming out of the lab, you will be energized and ready to try out different LLM-based tools in your experiments!
