Services

What we do — and what we don’t

Each service family has one named lead. Every offering is labelled by what you receive: advice, written review, analysis, coaching, editing, training, a tool we build, or work by a named external partner.

This painting includes three types of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton: a microtubule (the largest), an intermediate filament (the knobby one), and two actin filaments (the smallest ones). The large blue molecules are ribosomes , busy in their task of synthesizing proteins — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

Scientific & Research Consulting

This painting shows a cross-section through an Escherichia coli cell. The characteristic two-membrane cell wall of gram-negative bacteria is shown in green, with many lipopolysaccharide chains extending from the surface and a network of cross-linked peptidoglycan strands between the membranes — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

Wet-Lab Strategy & Experimental Research Support

Experimental planning, assay design, troubleshooting and interpretation from a scientist with long bench experience. Hands-on work is coordinated only with qualified external laboratories.

For:: Postgraduate students designing or troubleshooting experiments

This painting is part of “VAX,” a series of paintings exploring the molecular basis of vaccines. These paintings are designed to be accurate representations of the biological processes, but they also serve as a personal celebration of a miracle of modern medicine — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

Thesis, Dissertation & Research Project Support

Ethical, methodology-first support for BS, MSc, MPhil and PhD researchers. You remain the author; we help you plan, analyse, present and defend your own work.

For:: BS and MSc students starting a research project
Lead:: Scientific Lead

Icosahedral virus capsids. In each virus, all of the subunits are chemically identical, but they adopt a few different quasisymmetrical shapes, each colored differently here. Pentamers of subunits are colored red, and hexamers of subunits are colored in shades of yellow and orange. — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

International Scholarships & Academic Mentorship

Structured mentorship for prospective MPhil and PhD applicants: profile assessment, supervisor search, documents and interview preparation — based on official university and funder information.

For:: Graduates in Pakistan planning an MPhil or PhD abroad
Lead:: Scientific Lead

RAS is shown in red, RAF in blue, and MEK in magenta. Pieces that are not included in the structures, including lipid groups attached to RAS and the flexible linkers between domains in RAF, are shown schematically. — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

Scientific Data Analytics, AI & Automation

Dashboards, trackers, validated data pipelines and automated reports for research groups and organisations — built so that you own and understand them.

For:: Research groups tracking students, samples, experiments or grants
Lead:: Technology Lead

A network of fibrous proteins and polysaccharides form a structural matrix between cells in our bodies. In this cross section, a cell surface is at left — Goodsell · RCSB PDB · CC BY

Institutional & Business Services

Workflow design, reporting, documentation, training and R&D consultation for research groups, departments and biotechnology businesses — activated case by case.

For:: University departments and research groups

By arrangement

What the labels mean

Consultation: A meeting with written notes. Advice only.
Written review: Written feedback on your own material.
Analysis: We process your legitimate data and return results with the method.
Coaching: We teach and guide; you do the work.
Editing: Language and presentation only, with tracked changes.
Training: Workshops for groups.
Build: We build a tool, tracker or system that you own.
Partner coordination: Work performed by a named, independent partner that you contract.
