Wednesday 3rd December - 3PM GMT
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are primed for widespread updates, having stayed largely stagnant for the last two decades. As pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms and contact research organisations (CROs) continue to seek new research and development frontiers, they need up-to-date security and compliance, alongside advanced data management capabilities.
To keep sensitive information protected and stay aligned with customer demands, health and life science laboratories globally are looking to next-gen LIMS solutions to accelerate their bioanalytical workloads, while maintaining process precision. By moving to cloud-based SaaS infrastructure, granular tasks such as calibration, sample handling, and reporting can be automated, while labs remain fully compliant with stringent regulatory requirements.
Who Should Attend?
This online panel discussion is designed for:
- Biotech or pharmaceutical decision-makers managing bioanalytical laboratory environments
- Procurement leaders examining the market for data management tools and systems
- System integrators working to automate bioanalytical workflows
- Clinical researchers looking to get the best out of next-gen LIMS
What You Will Learn
- The top laboratory trends driven by technological innovation, regulatory demands, and evolving customer expectations
- How LIMS technology is adapting to growing security, compliance and customer challenges
- How cloud-native, modular infrastructure is boosting scalability and flexibility, while ensuring that customisation does not impair upgrades and validation
- Strategies and best practices for picking and integrating the right supplier of next-gen data management tools

Stephanie Pasas-Farmer, PhDFounder and President
BioData Solutions Consulting and Software |  |
Stephanie Pasas-Farmer, PhD is a recognised bioanalytical expert in the areas of discovery and regulated bioanalysis for pharmaceutical, biologics, and hybrid technologies, including antibody-drug conjugate technology. Relying on insights gained over a 20-year career focused on bioanalytical operations across global biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and consulting, Stephanie founded Ariadne Software in 2018 and led development of Red Thread, guiding it from inception to production as an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solution for common challenges in bioanalytical data review. Prior to Ariadne Software, Stephanie created BioData Solutions, a scientific advisor firm whose aim is to help sponsors advance early-stage molecules into potential new drug candidates with bioanalysis support and regulatory compliance planning. Before founding BioData Solutions, she led a team of scientists at a global bioanalytical laboratory focused on the support of large molecule and antibody drug conjugate programs using LBA, LC-MS/MS, and cell-based assays. Stephanie earned her PhD and MSc degrees with honours in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Kansas. She received a BS degree in chemistry from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame.
