ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Conference App - This is available at www.SLAB2017.com (not case sensitive) and has much of the detail of this programme plus the delegate list, speaker biographies (where provided) and updates on any speaker, exhibitor or other changes. This time we are still producing a full printed programme but obviously we would like to save paper and move towards less printed material, with a downloadable phone app as well. We welcome your views on this, and suggestions as to how the web app could be improved. Notice Board - This is near the entrance and also has a display copy of the delegate list and updates on any speaker, exhibitor or other changes. Delegate List - We always have lots of last minute bookings and changes which make a comprehensive printed delegate list difficult to produce. Hence, we have decided not to provide a printed copy but to make it available in four ways - via the app, the notice board, a copy for photographing at the Registration desk, and a PDF accessible via www.effectivelab.org.uk (accompanied by a PDF of speaker biographies where they have been provided).Sessions - The streams are broadly thematic but have some variations due to differing room capacities. All sessions are 40 minutes long. Speakers are asked to allow 10-15 minutes for questions and discussion, and to end promptly so that people can move between sessions. Most sessions aren’t chaired so we ask delegates and speakers to work together to be prompt in starting and finishing.Moving Around - A,B,C,H and J sessions are in rooms off the main Conference Hall, where the Auditorium (site of the keynotes, as well as A sessions) is also located. Sessions D,E,F and G are in the nearby Hinxton Hall Building. Please allow additional time for transfers between these buildings, especially if you are heading for or leaving D sessions in the Chestnut Suite. Unfortunately, H and J sessions in Loft Rooms 1 and 2 are on the first floor with no lift access. Presentations - These will be made available via the S-Lab home page (www.effectivelab.org.uk) or a link in our post-conference survey email.Tours - Tours of the Sanger Institute ‘DNA Pipeline’ labs are being offered throughout the day, with additional tours of the new EBI Building and Campus waste management facilities at 1600 (see K section of the agenda). The ‘DNA Pipeline’ labs were opened at the end of 2016 by the Prime Minister and the tour will see sample preparation, DNA sequencing and other DNA analysis platforms. Site capacity to run tours is limited, and so places are restricted. Those who have pre-registered via https://wgctours.eventbrite.co.uk will be given priority. Check at the Registration desk if places are still available. The Registration desk is also the assembly point for tours - please be on time as the tour locations are some distance away and timings are tight.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AND FOLLOW-ON SESSIONSSupporting World Class Life Science at The Wellcome Genome Campus: Operations (With a Follow-on Session, B1, for Q&A)

Martin’s career spans four sectors: academic, private, charity and public. He had a successful academic research career in tropical medicine. His PhD from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine led on to Wellcome Trust and Leverhulme Trust Fellowships, splitting his time between Neuchatel University in Switzerland, Keele in the UK and field trips to South America. Time in academia was followed by a private commercial role working in medical communications with international pharmaceutical companies. He then swapped sides to lead a healthcare research group, at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, developing clinical and cost effectiveness guidelines for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. Next he became Executive Director at the Royal Statistical Society, a learned and professional body supporting statisticians, the development of statistical science and promoting the appropriate use and understanding of statistics. Latterly, he held the role of COO at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology during the completion of the new Institute laboratories and successfully lead and completed the transition programme in to the new facility. As COO of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Wellcome Genome Campus Martin has operational responsibility for many areas of the Institute business, and is overseeing the development of a new Campus vision and master plan to significantly enhance capability in enterprise and innovation.

Duncan is a chartered building services engineer who has been working in pharmaceutical and academic research for over 40 years. He joined the Genome Campus as Head of Facilities Management in 2003 and had the responsibility to create a high performing team from scratch with all of the procedures and policies required for a large world class campus whilst also helping deliver the South Field Project. During his time campus floor space doubled, and the Facilities Management budget rose from c£3.5m to £12m per annum.In 2013 Duncan became Capital Projects Director, with responsibilities which included the Shared Facilities Redevelopment; the Ogilvie Building: a £27 million, three-storey, state-of-the-art building working alongside the Sanger Institute’s sequencing operation, housing sequencing facilities of both the Genomics England’s UK 100,000 Genomes Project and the Sanger Institute; and most recently the Bio Data Innovation Centre; a two storey, highly flexible data laboratory, designed to be the first step in fulfilling the long term vision of establishing campus as an international hub for enterprise and innovation in Genomics and Biodata.He also acted as the Wellcome Trust specialist for the Crick Institute for two years during its design.

S-LAB ACTIVITIES AND PUBLICATIONS

LABORATORY EXCELLENCES-Lab works with universities, and public and commercial research bodies to support good practice in design, operation and management. It does so through events, the S-Lab Awards scheme, and projects and publications. S-Lab’s core themes are:

Good Laboratory Design - helping to improve science effectiveness, user well-being and resource efficiency by showcasing innovation, developing guidance and enabling knowledge sharing.

Good Research Laboratory Practice (GRLP) - working towards integrated guidance analogous to that in analytical or health laboratories by gradually codifying the experience of best practice research institutions, e.g. in a Laboratory Environmental Assessment Framework (now widely used as part of the NUS Green Impact scheme). Research Effectiveness and Efficiency 2.0 - Building on the Wakeham, Diamond and other initiatives by a) broadening their focus on equipment sharing to cover all aspects of performance and utilisation, b) helping to optimise space efficiency in laboratories, c) encouraging a service partnership rather than landlord-tenant relationship between estates and laboratories, and d) stimulating cross-functional initiatives to improve building services. There are many presentations from past Conferences and events, and other materials, on all aspects of laboratory design, operation and use available via the Resources section of www.effectivelab.org.uk. Over 7,000 people have attended around 70 Conferences and workshops, and a monthly newsletter goes to over 3,000 subscribers.

In September 2016 we collaborated with the University of Nottingham on a launch Conference at The GSK Carbon-Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry (which subsequently won an S-Lab Award in 2017)

Design Group; James Buckley-Walker, Partner, 3PM; and Jennifer DiMambro, Director and UKMEA Science Leader, Arup• The Genome Campus vision and key facilities developments.• Case study on the Bridget Ogilvy Building - the request from Government (what, when, why)

and key factors in successfully delivering requirements. • Building strategy in practice - procurement (3PM), architecture (FDG) and structural/MEP/fire

design (Arup).

B1 World Class Life Science at The Wellcome Trust Genome Campus: Operations - Keynote Follow-On

Martin Dougherty, Chief Operating Officer, Wellcome Genome Campus and Sanger Institute• History and vision of the Genome Campus.• Operational delivery and different disciplines - process, people, technology.• How science is converging.

C1 Measured Containment Control: Safer Laboratories with Substantially Reduced Ventilation - a Progress Update

Roy Allwood, CEO, Labway Services, and Richard Brown, Key Account Manager, Healthcare and Laboratory, Halton UK (Sponsored Session)• The ventilation rates of laboratory containment devices have traditionally been set on a basis

of empiricism and ‘best guesses’.• Sustainability has been addressed by the replacement of constant volume control

with VAV although this in itself introduces further predetermined estimations that can adversely affect safety performance.

• Alternative and objective control approaches are now available that seek to overcome the deficiencies of more traditional systems.

D1 How to Reduce Laboratory Energy: The Smart Labs Initiative and its University of California, Irvine, Precursor (Session repeated as D4)

Otto van Geet, Principal Engineer, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Technical Adviser to US Dept. of Energy Smart Labs Programme• This session provides a summary of Smart Labs and will be sufficient for those wanting a brief

overview of the approach, and its practical implications. • The University of California, Irvine, reduced its laboratory energy consumption by 40-50%

through a strategic programme involving improved design, new ventilation technologies and more efficient operation: the work was recognised with an S-Lab Award in 2013.

• The Irvine experience has been distilled into a ‘Smart Labs’ methodology involving a) better understanding of lab hazards and usage, b) modelling and identifying optimal ventilation approaches for actual (rather than assumed) conditions, c) translating this into lean and adaptive designs, and implementing effectively, and d) supporting ongoing improvement through continuous commissioning. (Sessions D2 and D3 discuss these in more detail).

• The US Department of Energy is now promoting the SmartLab approach nationally, as part of its Better Building programme, and is encouraging organisations to set long-term laboratory energy reduction targets of up to 50%, and to use the Smart Labs process as the central element in achieving them. Session D5 discusses whether this approach could work in the UK.

E1 Efficient BioBank Management Solutions to Maximize the Value of Your Research Sam Wadge, Senior Research Technician, NIHR BioResource, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, and Tim Daniels,

Marketing Manager, Autoscribe Informatics (Sponsored Session)• Effective BioBank implementations must be driven by research needs to make adoption easy,

and also meet regulatory requirements such as HTA, GCLP, and MHRA.• Best practices to ensure a BioBank management solution improves efficiency and cost,

provides a long, trouble free service, and stays relevant to needs.• Case study of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) / Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS

Trust/ King’s College London BioResource.

11.40 - 12.20 SESSIONSF1 Technical Resources in Universities and Research Organisations: A Toolkit to Map

Needs and Skills, Build Capacity and Support Career Development Dr. Ian Tidmarsh, HEFCE Technical Development and Modernisation Team, University of Sheffield

• The Technical Development and Modernisation Project (TDM) has been developing tools and information resources to allow universities to plan and develop their technical staff requirements: the outputs are also relevant to research and other science-focused organisations.

• Key outputs for organisations are a skills and responsibility capture tool; new taxonomy of technical roles, linked to a new master framework of key competencies and mapping onto recognised standards; generic job descriptions which align to the above taxonomy and competency; a toolkit to enable HR staff and technical managers to quickly develop job descriptions and competency profiles for roles; and a Technician Entry Programme Framework designed to provide guidance and practical advice on setting up apprentice, trainee and intern programmes.

• For individuals the project has developed ASPIRE, a free, open-source, CPD tool with links to e-learning which allows recording of progress at all stages of career progression and enables networking and sharing.

G1 Integration of Chemicals, Biologicals, Equipment/Assets, Disposal, and Other Lab Management Functions into One System

Eoin Mulvey, Co-Founder, LabCup and Marcus Phelan, Chief Technical Officer, Trinity College, Dublin (Sponsored Session)• Chemicals, biologicals, equipment/assets, radioactives, risk assessments etc all require

specific management processes: combining these all into one system leads to hugely reduced administration, gives cost savings, and a more efficient and sustainable campus.

• Looking at the benefits achieved through a case study of centralising chemical waste disposal at Trinity College Dublin.

• The Key: Utilising new technology such as label recognition and voice recognition to give a good user experience – as a system is only as good as the people using it.

H1 Autoclave Best Practice, Management and Validation Jonathan Lovell, Technical Services Manager, Wellcome Sanger Institute

• Relevant regulations and standards for autoclaves.• Factors in autoclave purchase – size, usage, maintenance, ergonomics, energy

and more.• Good autoclave use – operating regimes, competence and training, validation, maintenance

and more.

B2 Adaptable, Multidisciplinary, Systems Neuroscience at University College London’s Sainsbury Wellcome Centre: Collaboratively Designed with Users

Mark Dixon, Operations Manager, UCL and Jennifer DiMambro, Director and UKMEA Science Leader, Arup (S-Lab Award Session)• A 13,805 m2 GIA, £55m, building informed by study of best practice labs around the world, and

whose first Director was the 2014 Nobel Laureate, Sir John O’Keefe.• Four adaptable double-height experimental laboratory quadrants link to three levels of

theoretical computational labs for 160 scientists and 50 support staff: all are naturally lit through a translucent north façade, and some also with rooflights.

• Collaboratively designed with neuroscientists, there is visual and physical connectivity, spatial diversity, a 480nm soffit colour to keep staff alert, and adaptability including exposed services in prefabricated ‘plug and play’ modules which increase clear heights and allow partitioning to be reconfigured easily.

C2 Closing the Energy Loop: Ensuring that Metering and Monitoring Systems Support Continuous Improvement in Energy Use

Matthew Butler, Associate Director, Building Engineering, AECOM (Sponsored Session)• Soft Landings is an increasingly important aspect of new building design. The ability

to monitor the operation of new buildings and identify areas that are not operating as anticipated is essential to ensure new buildings perform according to design aspirations.

• Presentation of two case studies of metering, monitoring and improvement at the James Dyson Building at the University of Cambridge Engineering Department and the GSK Carbon-Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Nottingham.

• Discussion on the insights into the actual operations of both buildings in comparison to theoretical predictions; the improvements that were possible as a result of monitoring and the lessons learnt on how metering and monitoring can be more effectively applied in the future.

D2 Smart Labs in Practice: Leaner Ventilation Design Based on Better Understanding of Hazards and Users

Brad Cochran, Director, Air Quality Services, CPP Wind Engineering & Air Quality (a technical advisor to DoE and Irvine)• Know Your Lab Better - gaining a better understanding of biological, chemical and other

hazards, occupancy and other factors in order to identify means of controlling/reducing them, and optimal ventilation approaches to contain them.

• Assessing current/projected demand for ventilation and evaluating versus design technical options for optimal ventilation.

• Underpinning technologies for ventilation optimisation - demand controlled systems, wind-related extract, laboratory ventilation management software, and more.

• This session can be attended as a one-off but D1 will provide useful context for it.

11

12.30 - 13.10 SESSIONSE2 A Happier, More Productive and Cost-Effective Lab Becky Upton, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing, VWRCATALYST (Sponsored Session)

• Many examples show that there is considerable potential for win-win improvements in laboratory operations that deliver benefit for users, science and owners.

• One means of achieving improvement is LEAN tools and projects: experience shows that these that can help to make laboratories function better, become more productive and, ultimately, create a nicer environment to work in.

• Another is the introduction of managed service models, involving suppliers locating trained, specialised, associates on site to perform a wide range of onsite operational duties, freeing up staff to focus on doing and supporting science: recent VWR CATALYST experience shows that this can deliver great benefit to lab users and owners.

F2 Design, Operation and Safety Management of Containment Level 3 Facilities Liz McMinn, Senior Health & Safety Adviser and Biological Safety Officer, Genome Research Ltd

• Relevant regulations, standards, and guidance for Containment Level 3 facilities and factors to consider in the design and build of a CL3 facility – not all CL3 facilities are the same and rarely do you have the luxury of starting from a blank space!

• Operation of a CL3 facility – who, what, where, and how?• High Containment safety management - is it any different to managing other laboratories?

G2 Designing and Constructing a World-Class R&D Facility? What is Being Done Today vs What Should Be Done

Paul Sharp, Divisional Director, ISG, and Paul Cook, Head of Technology, ISG (Sponsored Session)• Around the world, traditional R&D facilities design and delivery models are struggling to keep

pace with rapidly evolving systems and ever-changing user experiences: • Delivering human-centric environments today requires the ability to make client workspaces

smarter and more resilient, and build in real capacity for change: core to this is making technology central to design rather than just an add-on.

• Case studies of how to achieve this, including One Mabledon Place in London where 1960s office space was transformed into Europe’s largest pathology laboratory; Cell Therapy Catapult, a high-tech medical R&D facility for Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital; and Building Information Modelling.

H2 Next Generation Recirculating Fume Cupboards Can Increase Safety and Flexibility Whilst Reducing Total Costs, Energy and Carbon

Cyril Monnier, Sales Manager GFH Europe, Erlab (Sponsor session)• New filtration technology based on extensive R&D and application in pharma and other high

specification, very safety-aware, sectors.• Elimination of need for exhaust systems greatly reduces construction and operational costs,

and carbon footprint.• Next generation filtration fume cupboards can be easily moved and so provide more flexibility.

J2 Is Your Cleanroom and Laboratory Air Really as Healthy and Pure as it Could Be? Jarmo Kesanto, CEO, and Neville Spiers, Co-Director, KSG Health Limited (Sponsored Session)

• Air quality within laboratory environments - common issues that are often underestimated.• Contamination and health issues with nano-scale processes - why many cleanrooms have

• The link between employee wellbeing and the built environment.• Investing in the built environment encourages creativity, supports wellbeing and increases

job satisfaction.• Discover what leading organisations are doing to address workplace wellbeing.

C3 Does Building Certification Really Improve Laboratory Performance? Interactive debate session organised in collaboration with the Designers for Science network

• There have always been mixed views on the pros and cons of BREEAM - with some arguing that it just an expensive ‘box ticking’ exercise, whilst others believe that it can drive cost-effective environmental (and other) improvement if embedded within a strategic design process - and this debate has now been magnified by the development of LEED and Passivhaus as alternative or complementary certification schemes.

• This session builds on the experience of architects and engineers within the Designers for Science network, and will take the form of a ‘for and against’ debate on the value of certification.

• It will also consider, if certification is desired, whether BREEAM is the optimal approach, or whether LEED and/or Passivhaus might be better alternatives.

D3 Smart Labs in Practice: Implementing Leaner and More Adaptable Ventilation Systems

Brad Cochran, Director, Air Quality Services, CPP Wind Engineering & Air Quality (a technical advisor to DoE and Irvine)• Establishing and implementing appropriate operating specifications, ensuring proper operation

of all system components and using laboratory ventilation management and other sources to fully understand current building operation, and identify improvement opportunities.

• The importance of continuous commissioning - fans, fume cupboards, exhaust stacks and more.

• Case study of the University of Cambridge Chemistry Building, which, independent of Smart Labs, has implemented a number of its central tenets, including detailed analysis of current use and improvement opportunities; a wind-related exhaust system; and conversion of many constant volume extract systems to VAV control.

• This session can be attended as a one-off but D1 will provide useful context for it.

E3 Troubleshooting Common Issues in Sample Management and Storage Neil Benn, Managing Director, Ziath (Sponsored Session)

• Based on personal experience as a supplier and, previously, a sample manager in pharma, biotech and academia.

Princeton University, CREATE in Singapore and Skoltech in Russia.

B4 How Adaptable Laboratory Design Can Provide Enhanced Facilities for the Modern Laboratory

Roland Triance, Romero UK/Premier Laboratory Systems (Sponsored Session)• The fast-changing nature of research and science-based incubation and innovation means that

laboratory use will change many times over a building’s lifetime, and needs to be anticipated to minimise reconfigurations costs and hassle.

• Key issues include mobile furniture, overhead service distribution, and integration of all systems that interface with fume cupboards, fume extract and furniture services.

• Case study from The Babraham Research Campus in Cambridge which co-locates 60 life science companies with a world respected research institute, The Babraham Institute; a 18,000m2 commercially available laboratory and office accommodation; and a Technical Development Laboratory offering bench space and equipment rental.

C4 A Synergistic Design Approach to Safely Reduce Lab Energy Use by Up To 75% with No Extra Cost Gordon Sharp, Chairman, Aircuity (Sponsored session)• Proven, design approach synergistically combines demand based control of ventilation, chilled

beams (hydronic cooling), VAV exhaust fan control, and sensible heat recovery.• Presentation will show in detail with a typical UK lab how energy savings of 50 to 75% can be

safely achieved while HVAC system capacity requirements are cut so total project costs are maintained or even reduced.

• The core technology of this approach, demand based control of ventilation, is the centre piece of UCI’s Smart Labs program and has been proven in hundreds of labs including Cambridge, Harvard, and the S-Lab Award shortlisted entries for the net zero energy lab building at Bristol College in Massachusetts, and UCL’s Sainsbury Wellcome Building.

D4 How to Reduce Laboratory Energy: The Smart Labs Initiative and its University of California, Irvine, Precursor (A Repeat of D1)

Otto van Geet, Principal Engineer, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Technical Adviser to US Dept. of Energy Smart Labs Programme• This session provides a summary of Smart Labs and will be sufficient for those wanting a brief

overview of the approach, and its practical implications. • The University of California, Irvine, reduced its laboratory energy consumption by 40-50%

through a strategic programme involving improved design, new ventilation technologies and more efficient operation: the work was recognised with an S-Lab Award in 2013.

• The Irvine experience has been distilled into a ‘Smart Labs’ methodology involving a) better understanding of lab hazards and usage, b) modelling and identifying optimal ventilation approaches for actual (rather than assumed) lab conditions, c) translating this into lean and adaptive ventilation designs, and implementing effectively, and d) supporting ongoing improvement through continuous commissioning.

• The US Department of Energy is now promoting the SmartLab approach nationally, as part of its Better Building programme, and is encouraging organisations to set long-term laboratory energy reduction targets of up to 50%, and to use the Smart Labs process as the central element in achieving them. Session D5 discusses whether this approach could work in the UK.
