Welcome to Lab of the Future (LotF) Community of Interest
A research intensive industry like BioPharm brings together many excellent scientists and visionaries within individual companies. Freeing them from their highly competitive daily work and exposing them to speculative ideas of colleagues for a number of hours per months or year can be highly productive to find new approaches and solutions to common roadblocks.

About Us |
|---|
Our objectives are growing but are primarily to drive positive pre-competitive outcomes that lead to better quality of life for recipients and all involved. These include data and process standards, harmonised ways of working, and finally sharing of data , knowledge and intelligence. We currently have 3 projects that are linked to the LOTF community: Methods Database, Universal Integration Knowledge Base and Methods on Demand. |
Our Projects |
Methods Database (Methods DB) Method recapitulation is difficult and time consuming, within a company and even more across collaborating partners. A solution to store, search and retrieve a digital version of a method will improve scientist’s ability to retain institutional knowledge, reduce time for method development and improve method execution. Key components are:
 |
Universal Integration Knowledge Base(UIKB) This project is in inception stage, interested parties are meeting regularly and funding is being raised. System Integration and Automation in the Lab are still very expensive and time- |
Methods on Demand Analytical Method Information comes in many different formats, from unstructured We want to build a bridge from the text based information to the instruction set in The goals is to create a process that reduces errors, time and efforts in transferring |
