What we do

We’re here to help maximize the impact of research at West Campus. Working with faculty and researchers, the “Research Ops” team provides administrative and logistical support to ensure the smooth running of our science labs, including managing equipment maintenance, procuring supplies, space data management, safety protocols and regulatory compliance. Our aim is to ensure that our scientific community has optimal research infrastructure and laboratories that meet their needs. We coordinate lab onboarding in the research space along with the services and resources that support your work.
