There is a better way to run a lab

Experimental Designs Consulting

At EDC, we believe science is the focus. We believe with the right management system; scientists can focus on what they do best, science. We create an adaptable and teachable management system capable of initiating and sustaining a biomedical laboratory. To date, there has not been a successful system that does not require an experienced lab manager. At EDC, we now have developed that system.

 

EDC Founder, Damien Wilpitz, has spent the last 12 years directing his attention toward understanding inefficiencies in academic research institutions. He has identified 4 key management components: Operational, Personnel, Financial and Research management. He and his team have acquired expertise in current methods of management practices, and have selected the best systems and techniques to create a basic, adaptable skeletal system. It has proven the ability to increase productivity by capitalizing on all available resources. Our management strategy focuses on the growth and flexibility of laboratories by correcting critical inefficiencies with readily actionable improvements. These efforts serve as the EDC template, resulting in the development and expansion of ambitious laboratory environments.

 

Our management modules will enable labs to operate at a capacity optimized for scientific productivity.
