Lab Managers’ Discussion Group
The Lab Managers’ Discussion Group is open to everyone who self identifies as a lab manager. The group was created to provide support and facilitate communication between labs and MGH research leadership. The group meets four times per year. Twice in a location specific area, Simches or CNY, and twice with all lab managers.
If you have any questions or would like to be added to the LMDG distribution list, please contact us at: LMDG@partnershealthcare.onmicrosoft.com.
