Some of our recent projects involve the acquisition and analysis of microarray data. We were awarded a small-business grant by the National Institutes of Health (R41GM055075) to develop technology for nucleic acid hybridization, and we have been granted a first and second U.S. patent for our microarray technologies. We also work with university researchers to analyze their own microarray data (click this link for an example ).

Let us assist you as patent agent, consultants, research and development contractors, or federal grant sub-contractors. For more information about the services that we can provide you, please contact:
