How to translate Good Cell Culture Practice (GCCP) into day-to-day lab lives?

Unfortunately, we see a lack of knowledge about laboratory skills every day, some of which leave us speechless, and tragically, most of it happens unconsciously. International standards somehow have not yet permeated cell culture laboratory practices. There are multiple reasons for that, but we will talk about them another time. So, as we saw the urgent need, we produced 96 videos and training material covering essential skills of the cell culture lab. If you work, or plan to work in a cell culture […]

Formulating research questions, writing grants and publications, working with students and technicians, but also coordinating who will thaw the freezers, dump unlabelled tubes with mysterious substances into the trash – all these things are part of our life, our lab life.

Over the years, we realized that for people […]
