AbTrace

Make complicated scientific work easier to coordinate, without oversimplifying the science.

What it is

An interactive workflow prototype for antibody R&D teams: a shared project timeline, role-based workspaces, review steps (draft → review → return / revise → approve) and traceable version history.

Who it's for

Lab scientists, reviewers and project managers working across stages such as antigen preparation, screening, sequencing, expression and laboratory evaluation.

Problems it solves

• Different people need different answers: “What is blocked?”, “What should I do next?”, “What changed, and who approved it?” One crowded dashboard answers none of them.
• Revisions and approvals get lost between documents and people.
• Scientific rules are easy to hard-code wrongly — the prototype keeps them provisional and reviewable by domain experts.

My role

Discovery conversations · requirements translation · UI and workflow design · prototype development and testing (client project at YBBE TECH, anonymised)

Status & limits A discovery and testing prototype — not a production LIMS, a validated assay workflow or a client-accepted final system. Scientific SOPs, thresholds and permissions still need formal client confirmation.
