Catchup – Salon – Organising your Lab for Maximum Efficiency
24/09/2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
In our last Salon webinar of 2025, Dr Kate Harris and Dr Dominic Trepel will explore how to structure your lab for focus, flexibility, and long-term success, with insights from researchers who have made it work across a range of settings.
A well-organised lab, whether it is wet, dry, clinical, or computational, is the backbone of effective research. Good organisation supports not just productivity, but morale, collaboration, and scientific integrity. But how do you set up systems that keep projects moving, data flowing, and people working well together? What does efficiency look like in very different research environments? Today, we will explore how to structure your lab for focus, flexibility, and long-term success, with insights from researchers who have made it work across a range of settings
Speakers
Dr Dominic Trépel is an economist and Assistant Professor at Trinity College Dublin and the Global Brain Health Institute. He aims to inform policy through incorporating economic research into a variety of research designs, including randomised control trials, simulation models of cost-effectiveness, discrete choice experiments and econometric analysis of observational datasets.
Dr Kate Harris is a Newcastle University Academic Track Fellow in Drug Discovery. Her research focuses on developing small-molecule interventions to modulate neuroinflammatory processes, particularly targeting microglial dynamics and interferon and complement pathways. She combines medicinal chemistry, in vitro cell biology, and computational methods to translate biological insights into drug discovery programmes for neurodegenerative diseases, brain cancers, and rare metabolic disorders.
