Welcome to myLaminin, the most complete, integrated, and secure Research Data Management (RDM) platform on the market, supporting the complete RDM lifecycle from data collection through data archiving, with support for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and Indigenous data sovereignty principles.
myLaminin is a blockchain-enabled, research-agnostic platform that secures sensitive research data, reduces operational inefficiencies, and facilitates collaboration for Principal Investigators, their team members, external collaborators, and the administration.
The product of a 2+ year co-design with leading higher education research teams, legal services, research ethics boards, and research librarians, myLaminin supports research in clinical trials and healthcare, social sciences, or engineering disciplines, where large datasets, regulatory compliance, data privacy and security are important considerations.
myLaminin is purpose-built to address these pressing issues with:
Comprehensive Data Security to manage and safeguard sensitive and large datasets with industry-leading encryption and secure on-prem or cloud storage solutions.
Seamless Collaboration to facilitate distributed data collection globally and enable distributed team engagement without compromising data sovereignty.
Reducing Operational Inefficiencies for researchers, their teams, and the administration.
With myLaminin, researchers can focus on innovation and breakthroughs while we manage the complexities of research data management.
Let us show you how myLaminin can help you achieve your research goals.
Where would we be if ...
How much faster could research teams progress if clinical trial results could be instantly shared across a team, a department, an institution, or a global team - preserving patient data privacy - without a lengthy approval process, or if months of field data weren't accidentally lost or forgotten on some laptop or USB drive?
The growing challenges for academic research
Collaboration remains a significant challenge creating barriers for distributed teams and the overall productivity of these teams.
Our recent work with a leading research-intensive university has given us great insights into this complex ecosystem and the need to have operational governance with supporting methods, practices, systems, and protocols that support researchers and mitigate the risks of poor data management.
All kinds of data, one way to manage it!
Regardless of the research data type, it must all be securely managed and shared. The importance of secure sharing cannot be overemphasized, especially with the increasing volume and complexity of research data and the importance of maintaining data integrity, security, and privacy.
Best practices for research data management
Whether conducting experiments in the lab, collecting survey responses, or analyzing big data, in today’s data-driven research landscape, proper research data management (RDM) practices streamline workflows, safeguard sensitive information, and enable long-term preservation of valuable data.
The important role of research ethics boards
Ethics and a Research Ethics Board (REB) play a fundamental role in research by ensuring that the process is conducted responsibly protecting participants, and transparently promoting fairness, honesty, and integrity while adhering to ethical principles to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements and maintain public trust.
Does research data management have an ROI?
Many researchers unnecessarily take on operational responsibilities by delegating these functions and operational duties to departmental IT staff, grad or undergrad students. Academics may consider this "free" labor since they're already there, but this does not consider the opportunity cost. If they are not well versed in the regulatory compliance requirements, your research could be at risk of non-compliance. What are those costs to the department?
For this reason, myLaminin has developed a robust Return On Investment (ROI) calculator for research institutions to fully understand the benefits of a complete, integrated, and secure RDM platform and the ROI they can realize. Contact us to learn more.
