How about going a bit further and designing a lab management software that uses both the in-house and online databases to create optimized protocols for biological research?
Most of the work we do as biological researchers overlap. Some of the key techniques used, for example, PCR, Cell cultures, RNA/DNA extraction, and Western Blots, are used ubiquitously irrespective of whether the lab is working on bacteria or viruses or any other pathogens (of course, with their own adaptation). Hence, to cut the time wasted adapting, could we use a lab protocol designing system that takes specific inputs and gives options based on these inputs for the reagents to use, where to order them from, along with other laboratory protocols for relevant assays and experiments?
