Running a research lab, no matter the discipline, is like building a start-up company within a massive bureaucracy, yet few scientists receive training in the management and leadership skills and practices required to lead a successful research program. This series of workshops and seminars is designed to help Early Career Researchers begin to create systems for your lab that give you time and space to do the science that you love.
Our second workshop in the series Team Science Skills and Practices for Early Career Researchers will be led by Dr. Orion Banks, on Monday, March 4, 2024, 11:00 AM – Noon PT / 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
Centralizing Lab Resources with Synapse
This one hour event will introduce data management principles to help you design storage, access, sharing, and versioning strategies for the digital resources in your lab. We will use the Sage Bionetworks data storage platform, Synapse, to illustrate how centralized information and data storage can benefit researchers, in particular when starting a new project or research program. Using a set of example scenarios, we will explore how effective information management tools can simplify and accelerate your work, all the way from prototyping to publishing.
Registration is required to participate. Learn more and register. This workshop is limited to 40 attendees. Priority for this workshop will be given to Early Career Researchers from within the MC2 Center Community.
Orion Banks joined Sage Bionetworks in October 2022 as the Lead Biomedical Data Manager for the Multi-Consortia Coordinating (MC2) Center. As part of the MC2 Center, he supports resource management for a broad range of research projects and experimental data types. Before joining Sage, Orion earned a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Oregon, where he studied chromatin organization and dynamics using synthetic biology, biochemistry, sequencing-based techniques.
