Lab Manager Magazine helps provide a forum and a framework to help lab professionals hire and supervise staff, establish a laboratory, and plan a coherent research program, while keeping the goals of good science and scientific discovery at the forefront.

Most lab managers, by education and experience, are thoroughly capable of handling the technical aspects of their jobs, but their managerial skills are often obtained haphazardly.

Lab Manager Magazine is written with those managers in mind and has the distinct editorial mission of providing practical information on business, strategy, leadership and staffing as well as the industry and technology news needed to effectively manage today's lab.
