Why Lab Manager Academy?

Our Journey

Launched in 2021, Lab Manager Academy is committed to becoming a trusted educational provider for lab managers, safety officers, and technicians.

However, traditional scientific programs often overlook the essential skills needed to effectively manage a lab. Lab Manager Academy addresses this gap, offering unparalleled insights and training.

We provide the guidance lab managers need to run their labs effectively, treating it like a business. Whether through our Academy, print magazine, digital offerings, webinars, videos, or live events, Lab Manager ensures that managers find the advice and support they need to be strong leaders in their labs.
