myLaminin Newletter

myLaminin - The compliance first operating system for cross-institution research data collaboration under
regulatory constraints.

myLaminin is a research agnostic, full lifecycle research data management (RDM) platform that helps researchers and their institutions securely share sensitive research and clinical-trial data across organizations without failing privacy reviews, audits, or funding requirements.

We support researchers from project initiation through to publication.

• myLaminin makes cross-org collaboration safe with support for national and Indigenous data sovereignty, role-based access controls, and provable audit trails for PHI/PHIPA/HIPAA/NIST SP800-171/21 CFR Part11 regulated research workflows.

• We reduce coordinator and administration burden by standardizing workflows for intake, approvals, document exchange, monitoring, and evidence capture (RDM is in production and in use now, CTMS beta in production and in use, complete CTMS module nearing GA).

• myLaminin also de-risks governance and vendor approval because we support both cloud or on-prem data storage. As an AWS Partner, myLaminin is an AWS-hosted SaaS service with compliance-by-design, so research security/compliance teams can say “yes” faster.

myLaminin simply accelerates innovation.

The Missing Infrastructure for Tracking Research Projects

Research systems often fail researchers because project context is lost over time.

To help solve this, we’ve published two new guides on the future of research tracking.

Learn how the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) is filling a critical gap in the scholarly record by identifying projects as persistent entities. Then, get up to speed on the broader 'PID' landscape with our explainer on DOIs, ORCIDs, and ROR IDs, and discover how these digital anchors reduce administrative burden while boosting the visibility of your work. 

Clinical Trials Management Operations Capabilities

Many institutions manage expanding clinical trial portfolios with limited administrative resources. Through a collaborative design effort with a Clinical Trial Support Unit, myLaminin has introduced a module focused on operational and financial oversight.

Key Capabilities

• Centralized, auditable tracking of clinical trials and dashboard reporting

• Management of service rate agreements

• Integrated calendar and email functionality

• Clinical trial assignment and time tracking for trial managers

• Automated invoice generation for trial management services

myLaminin also fully supports the administrative side of clinical trials, streamlining the process and keeping relevant data together and secure.

• Create and manage intake forms

• Manage trial status and team members

• Track trial-specific data and statistics

This module offers clinical trial support and unites a structured, compliant, and scalable approach to clinical trial administration.

Shortly, we will be expanding these capabilities to deliver a complete and regulatory-compliant Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS). This will make myLaminin the only Canadian CTMS solution, and the only CTMS platform integrated with a robust Research Data Management platform.

Our goal is to provide a new category of platforms - Clinical Research Data Management (Clinical RDM). This goes beyond merely running trials well, but is the discipline and platform layer responsible for the authoritative, long-term governance, stewardship, security, and reuse of clinical research data across its full lifecycle - from data generation to post-trial knowledge creation.

“myLaminin has helped to streamline our data collection. The team at myLaminin
makes the transition exceptionally easy.”

Building Research Infrastructure That Scales

We’re excited to share another step in myLaminin’s infrastructure journey: recognition as an AWS Partner. This reflects our alignment with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and reliability standards that research institutions increasingly expect from their core systems.

For universities and research organizations, this means flexible deployment options (cloud or on-prem), faster access to AWS innovations relevant to compliance, HPC, and AI, and the potential for deeper collaboration on institution-wide research challenges. For teams evaluating long-term research platforms, it’s an important signal of technical readiness.

Compliance without Compromise

Our recent articles explore how evolving regulatory compliance requirements across the U.S., Canada, and beyond are reshaping research operations. From HIPAA and PIPEDA to GDPR and cross-border data accountability, we unpack what institutions need to know, and where hidden risks often emerge. We also highlight how myLaminin’s certified, standards-aligned platform supports secure research data management, helping teams meet compliance expectations while maintaining efficiency, trust, and research integrity.

myLaminin Achieves Patent Milestone

We’re pleased to share that myLaminin has been granted a U.S. patent recognizing our novel, blockchain-based approach to establishing verifiable accountability, integrity, and traceability.

The patent reflects years of practical learning at the intersection of research administration, data governance, and compliance, and it’s already informing a follow-on patent concept we believe will further advance how RDM is operationalized in real-world research environments.
