[ WORKSHOP] Optimise the effectiveness of your lab operations by improving your turnaround time.

How to benefit from a Laboratory Resource Management Solution.

Roberto Castelnovo at PLA2025Europe

Presenter: Roberto Castelnovo, Founder, CEO & Chief Scientific Officer at Optima LRMS

Roberto has spent his entire career in the field of laboratory information management, gaining extensive experience at Applied Biosystems in managing complex sales and service organisations to deliver solutions on an international scale. He has worked in multicultural and global environments, dealing with complex environments and collaborating with product managers, the marketing team, R&D and quality on a global level.

In 2013, he founded the consultancy NL42, which provides specialised services for paperless projects, particularly in the areas of operations, quality assurance and quality control. In 2016, NL42 took over the international conference Paperless Lab Academy® and has since organised editions in Europe, India and the US.

In 2016, the idea of founding Optima was born, as there was an obvious lack of a specialised solution for planning and scheduling lab resources. 

Roberto has a degree in Computer Science from the University of Milan.

Overview

Within the realm of computer science, laboratory informatics has quickly developed into a specialised field of its own. Defined as specialised applications for the optimisation and improvement of laboratory operations, lab informatics is one of the fastest growing areas of laboratory technology.

The fact is that the applications available on the market today are very much geared towards laboratory operations from a data flow perspective and focus mainly on providing solutions for 1) capturing raw data, 2) converting it into information and 3) providing analysis and visualisation tools to support decision making.

Meanwhile, the extremely time-consuming lab operations related to scheduling, planning and coordinating resources for the proper and timely execution of activities were relegated to multiple Excel spreadsheets, sticky notes on a whiteboard, numerous back-and-forth communications for constant updates...

In this interactive workshop at #PLA2025Europe, we will introduce you to the concept of Optima LRMS, show you real-life use cases and actively discuss how you can benefit from it.

Who should benefit
