Consultation

Experimental Design and Power Calculations – We highly encourage you to consult our bioinformatician prior to experiments to find a solution that fits your needs and budget. We will help design your experiments to obtain maximum leverage and perform data quality control checks for high-throughput data projects.

Liaison with vendors: We will help identify the right product to ensure the quality of your research.

Grant Support

We will provide hardware and software support for UH researchers who plan to conduct preliminary data analysis for hypothesis development and testing as part of grant proposal writing. We will provide necessary guidance to include computational biological methods to analyze data in your research analysis plan. Letters of support for your grant proposal can be prepared upon request.

Data Management Service

We will provide data management services and develop a web-based database for collection, storage, integration, and management of clinical data and scientific research data.

Collaborative Research

We are involved in collaborative research of several principal investigators from different UH departments and campuses. We perform bioinformatics data analysis by running routine bioinformatics applications and custom programs developed specifically to fulfill our research objectives.
