Direction

Public roadmap

A public roadmap, honestly stated. Updated when things change. If a phase slips, we say so and explain why.

We are currently in Phase 2 — building the ELN. The open protocol library (Phase 1) is the foundation already in place.

Phases

The roadmap.

Four phases, each dependent on the one before it. We publish progress here as it happens.

Get involved early
Phase 1 — Complete
Open Protocol Library

Standardised cell culture protocols under CC BY 4.0. Peer-reviewed, versioned, citable, and independently executable. The necessary foundation before any digital tooling.

Phase 2 — Active
Cellindex ELN In development

Structured electronic lab notebook, currently in development. Experiment logging, passage tracking, cell line registry, contamination flags, exportable records.

Phase 3 — Planned
Quality Management System

SOPs, deviation tracking, change control, and audit documentation. Begins once the ELN is validated in real lab settings.

Phase 4 — Planned
Research Operations

Coordinating and running defined experimental workflows as an independent research operations partner. Dependent on governance structures being fully in place.
