faq about our lIFE science consultANT services
I'm afraid my trade secrets will leak. Can you sign an NDA?
Yes.
Do you have lab resources?
No. I can travel or work at facilities provided by clients or third parties.
What kinds of fields or focus areas are you best at?
Cell biology, biophysics and biochemistry. I have worked quite a bit with cancer and dealt with the good and bad of pharma and those trying to come up with new therapeutics. I don't do optimization or process development type work, and I am not an organic chemist.
Do you do bioinformatics, biostatistics, or big data analysis projects?
Not from scratch. You'll have to provide the detailed instructions or procedures, methods, tests, and software and walk me through the steps if you want me to take on tasks like analysis of high-throughput data or dimensionality reduction, for example. It will cost a little more overhead for me to get set up.
For custom projects, can you do something that is not in your focus areas?
Sure, much like a biostats or big data project (see above), you just need to provide detailed instructions and possibly any software, code, calculations or other tools needed.
What is your availability, and can you travel?
Availability changes depending on current projects. I can travel, but you will have to foot the bill.
