Lab Therapy: What Nobody Tells You Before Setting Up (and Operating) a Lab
Work from Cosymbio Day · Practical session with a lab manager
Setting up and operating a laboratory involves many critical decisions that are rarely explained in talks or commercial presentations.
Lab Therapy is a practical, participatory session designed to address real-life laboratory questions, based on hands-on operational experience.
The session will be led by Albert Pérez, Lab Manager at Cosymbio Labs, in an open consultation-style format.
This is not a talk or a sales pitch — it’s an honest conversation about what works, what doesn’t, and what often goes wrong.
