Massachusetts Life Sciences Center’s Post

https://lnkd.in/gjeBc_qP Amazing numbers out of University of Cincinnati research and innovation team this week! A record $314M in research awards in '23 (up 17% over '22, almost DOUBLE since '18) and $699M in research awards when including world-class partners at Cincinnati Children's and UCHealth (up 14% over '22). And, UC joined the top-50 research institutions by National Science Foundation (NSF) ranking. All this on the heels of UC surpassing 50,000 students enrolled this fall. Southwest Ohio's life science market is playing offense thanks to Cincinnati Innovation District research partners pushing for the next discovery.

Instead of "figuring it out as you go," Durham Technical Community College is reshaping clinical research training by incorporating simulation-based learning. Led by Program Director, Sharleen Traynor, PhD, MPH, these innovative academic programs offer a comprehensive toolkit for establishing safe, yet realistic research environments. Attend Sharlene's session at #ACRP2024 to learn how these exercises benefit site-level and sponsor activities, and gain insights into implementing the techniques in your research studies.

Do you face barriers to your research, like study participant recruitment, regulatory compliance, or resource shortfalls? At Translational Science Day, you'll learn how researchers at the University of Rochester have leveraged advances in translational science and UR CTSI support to find success in their #URochesterResearch projects. Save the date! More details to come. #TSD24

The Life Science industry needs to improve accessibility. It seems we‘re often perpetuating existing inequalities created by a lack of accessibility. In many cases, life science education is not particularly accessible and although this seems to get better, instruments and systems used in the lab are lagging behind. I think it‘s important to develop instruments and software that can be used by all researchers and scientists. It feels like a daunting task to go beyond web accessibility checklists but it is necessary. I recently learnt about the Accessible Biomedical Immersion Laboratory (ABIL) located at Purdue’s Discovery Learning Research Center. I love that they have a 3-D virtual environment that allowed me to explore the lab and compare to the labs I‘ve worked in. Change towards more accessible life science laboratories is happening and I‘m looking forward to learn more and figure out how to make this aspect more prominent in new product development.
