Life Science Research Platform

For a company that made its name as a manufacturer of consumable products for life science research, it can be difficult to convince your customer base to also see you as a legitimate provider of digital services, and even more difficult to then disrupt your industry with those services. But, that’s exactly what our client hoped to accomplish in order to safeguard their position as an industry leader well into the future.

Their vision was an extensive cloud-based platform for life science researchers that optimizes the entire experimental process—including literature review, hypothesis generation, experimental design, execution, analysis, and sharing/publishing—while offering recommendations and enabling collaboration along the way. Most importantly, this platform would empower researchers to gain deeper, actionable insights from their data as well as leverage the platform’s network of other researchers, aggregate data, and published insights to further their own research.

User Flows

Since this was a product definition project, we were not designing the entire experience in detail, rather conceptualizing a suggested experience and determining its cost and effort to implement. Our approach was to design a few key user flows within the experience. We generated an example scenario with a few fictional personas to present these user flows.

Wireframes 

We then created wireframes for each user flow that were handed off to visual designers. Sample wires I created are below:
