The discussion delves into best practices, case studies, and tangible examples demonstrating how to develop the right UX for laboratory science. This panel of experts collaborated on the awards-winning UX for the Redshift Aurora, a new generation of laboratory instruments that enhance biomolecule characterization. This session delves into the journey from conceptualization to execution of Aurora, emphasizing its innovative features such as smaller sample volume requirements and an integrated computing platform, making it ideal for both academic and pharmaceutical labs. In the realm of laboratory science, the implementation of user-centered design principles is crucial for creating interfaces that meet the specific demands of scientists. This involves integrating ergonomic considerations to enhance productivity and reduce cognitive load. Interfaces are tailored to support the high-stakes nature of lab work, incorporating advanced data visualization and management tools to handle complex datasets effectively.
Here is a recording of the panel discussion:
The interaction design was meticulously developed to improve the usability of lab equipment. Continuous improvement is facilitated through user feedback systems, allowing for real-time enhancements in UX design. Collaborative features and customization options support diverse research needs and encourage seamless cooperation among scientists in various locations. Accessibility standards ensure that lab technologies are usable for all, including those with disabilities, while error reduction techniques and cognitive load management strategies further optimize the work environment.
Valerie Ivancic Collins, Ph.D. is the Applications Manager at RedShiftBio and has been part of the team since 2018. Her experience with MMS began before she even joined RedShiftBio as the first beta-tester of the original AQS3pro system. This beta-test occurred while she was working on her Ph.D. at Clark University, where her research was focussed on biophysical characterization of peptides applied to amyloidosis diseases. At RedShiftBio, Valerie frequently collaborates with large pharmaceutical companies and academic labs to develop innovative approaches for pharmaceutical advancements, leveraging these cutting-edge characterization technologies.
David Sloan, PhD is the Senior Vice President of Life Sciences at RedShift Bio. He has worked in the biotechnology industry for the past 20 years and has always focused on customer satisfaction. David is most interested in learning about new research areas and developing novel applications on cutting-edge technology platforms to solve real-world problems. David received his PhD from Duke University Medical Center in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology and studied protein-protein interactions to identify novel therapeutics. His bachelor’s degree is from Cornell University, with dual degrees in Biology and Chemistry.
Clotilde Grimault leads Loft's product practice, focusing on its strategic direction and helping clients at the intersection of technology, data science, and business. Originally from France, she spent 12 years in the Netherlands as a Project Manager and Data and AI Lead for Phillips in the Male Grooming department, where she pioneered data and analytics efforts. Her career began as an aviation engineer at Agusta Aerospace Corporation before transitioning to Accenture in Boston, developing large-scale experiences.
Led by Gregor Mittersinker, founder and creative director of Loft Design, this discussion presents a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge and engage with top experts in the field.
In her research and design work, Saloni believes that products aren't discarded because they have no value; rather, they're replaced because they fail to keep up with people and their needs. This realization has led her to focus on developing products and experiences that evolve with the user while remaining empathetic to how they can improve lives.As an industrial designer, Saloni is passionate about bringing together design, engineering, and business to tackle some of the most pressing challenges around us. She has worked in a variety of fields, including social innovation, healthcare, sustainable product development, and consumer products.
Prior to Loft, Saloni got her master’s degree at MIT where she saw how the design process can be a key component to bring state-of-the-art solutions can to life. Her work at MIT ranged from conducting user research in zero gravity to make space more inclusive at the Media Lab, developing accessible pregnancy tests for people with vision impairments, and measuring the body's hydration levels at the Gray lab, IMES.
