The Laboratory Manager Mentoring program helps connect new lab managers with experts in the field who have experience in overseeing laboratory operations and safety management. The program matches prospective lab manager mentees with lab manager mentors who may work in the same department or building or who may have similar lab environments or research interests.
“Being able to contact and meet with a more experienced lab manager has helped me know everything that I need to do as the lab manager of my lab.”
