New Ways of Quality Assurance in Research: Background and Practical Applications / Tools for Scientists and Laboratory Staff
Course Description
Why are biomedical sciences and especially preclinical research affected by a systematic quality problem? What are the reasons and how can they be addressed? How do I make my research reproducible? How do I ensure good research quality in my laboratory? In this seminar, we want to introduce PREMIER, a new tool that provides practical solutions to answer the quality questions in research. With its modular structure, PREMIER contributes to bringing reproducibility and quality in research into the focus again.
Target Audience
Scientists, laboratory managers, technical staff, students
Course Objectives
To create awareness of qualitative work in the laboratory: where are the hurdles / problems and how can they be easily solved.
