DoorDash for cells.
Order motor, dopaminergic, sensory, or cortical neurons from the FIVE lab. Submit a complete request once, track it through every stage โ including the GESC-side prep โ and pick up live cells on a committed day.
Place a request
Single-page form with inline validation, dictation, and smart prompts so nothing important is missing on submission.
Start request โLab dashboard
Queue view for the FIVE team. Set status, assign owners, comment, and watch ETAs roll forward.
Open dashboard โWeekly schedule
Bench-work calendar generated from each in-flight request's protocol. Replaces the implicit weekly schedule the lab keeps in their heads.
Open scheduler โHTai Imaging (placeholder)
Imaging arm of the FIVE product. Owned by Lillian Gaddy โ to be wired in once her resources are shared.
Open placeholder โHow a request flows
Blue = GESC (Joe's team) ยท Purple = handoff ยท Red = FIVE ยท Green = delivered to you. Requesters see the same pipeline so there's no "where's my order" Teams DM.
