Flipping the Script: Transforming Academic Lab Facilities from Cost Centers to Strategic Drivers

In this episode of Digital Dialogues podcast, host Stephen Marion sits down with Dr. Claudius Mundoma, Director of Shared Facilities at Stanford University, to explore how bridging science and business redefines modern research infrastructure.

Dr. Claudius shares key insights on using digital twins and Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for lab asset tracking, implementing the flexible CLIQM quality framework, and why expert staff are the true engine behind multi-million-dollar hardware.

Tune in to learn how university leaders can transform shared facilities from back-of-house cost centers into strategic drivers of faculty recruitment, major grant funding, and scientific discovery
