Science moves fast, and so do we.
At the Lab, doctors, engineers, biologists, and data scientists work side by side, tackling complex problems that no single field can solve alone. But collaboration only works when everyone speaks the same language. That’s where PML Sprints come in—quick, focused workshops designed to bridge knowledge gaps, spark curiosity, and get people thinking beyond their own expertise.
These one- to two-hour crash courses are led by lab members who dive deep into their domain. Over time, they’ve become a lab staple. We’ve seen biologists building circuits using Arduino (guided by an electrical engineer!), while data scientists have tackled oral anatomy—and, surprisingly, acing the post-sprint quiz! We’ve had bioinformaticians decoding KEGG pathways, while medics have taken deep dives into Generative AI, synthetic biology, and even space bio.
But Sprints are more than just crash courses. They help us stay aligned, especially as the lab expands each summer with fresh interns and elective students. They create an environment where no one hesitates to ask questions, no idea is too wild, and cross-disciplinary learning is the norm.
