Where do you begin when the time comes to set up your own research lab? How do you build and manage a new team, apply for funding, and source equipment - all while navigating your new role and responsibilities? In this episode we hear from two academics who have both undertaken this mammoth task. They share their top tips for helping new hires and share some of the lessons they’ve learnt along the way. 

Join Eleanor Newton as she speaks to Dr Colleen Deane, a lecturer in Muscle Cell Biology at the University of Southampton. And Dr Chris Gaffney, a senior lecturer in Integrative Physiology at Lancaster University.
