Lab sync — 2026-04-07

Time: 10:00–10:45 | Room: Conf B / hybrid

Attendees & agenda

People: Rivera (PI); grads Kim, Patel, Nguyen; postdoc Okonkwo; manager Müller. Topics: instrument queue; cytokine pilot timeline; authorship on the methods note.

Discussion highlights

qPCR standards passed QC; unknowns Thursday if collaborator RNA lands. Flow cytometer down one week from 2026-04-14—finish sorts before then or use the core facility.

Decisions

• Authorship: contributors with substantial analysis or data generation get named; acknowledgments for routine technical help unless exceptional effort (PI discretion).
• New samples from Collaborator X require MTA confirmation before receipt; Müller to verify status.

Action items

Müller: booking SOP + downtime banner by 2026-04-08. Kim: pooled library manifest to core by 2026-04-09. Okonkwo: methods paragraph draft by 2026-04-11.
