Build the right workflow,
then get out of its way
Shana McDevitt is the Director of the QB3 Genomics Core at UC Berkeley and she isn’t here to romanticize research, she’s here to make it work. She knows what it takes to juggle multiple platforms, sample types, and demands from every corner of the academic and biotech world. And she’s got opinions on what helps…and what just wastes time.
In this full-length interview, Shana walks us through:
- How she assesses new technology (and why fool-proof sample prep is half the battle)
- The lab reality behind SPRQ chemistry and Revio system
- How to save time as a core director: what works, and what doesn’t
