Jake Schofield – Founder, Labstep, a STARLIMS Company
Jake Schofield, founder and CEO of Labstep, pioneers software solutions for scientists. Trained in Biomedical Science at University of Sussex, it was during his time in the academic research lab that he began to envision a software for scientists that would alleviate the challenges of paper notetaking and outdated laboratory software systems. Leaving academia, he began his career working for a bioinformatics startup, gaining exposure and insights as to the needs faced by R&D team at large companies. He launched the development of Labstep ELN, successfully raising multiple rounds of investment and getting backing from companies such as Google. Jake is a visionary leader on a mission to help scientists simplify the scientific process.
Barney Walker – Head of Labstep ELN Product
Having served his time at the lab-bench both during his undergraduate and master’s studies in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and throughout his PhD in Synthetic Biology at Imperial College London, Barney Walker saw firsthand how outdated R&D practices hinder innovation. This experience influenced his mission of creating software, not only to make life easier for those at the lab bench, but also to accelerate the scientific breakthroughs that benefit society. His work on the Labstep ELN spans 5 years, shaping it into a vital R&D tool. As Head of Product, he drives the vision and roadmap, dedicated to innovating and solving scientists’ challenges.
