Protein & molecular engineering
Cloning, construct work, expression strategy and experimental optimisation.
Move a difficult protein or assay project forward
Bring us the bottleneck. We will define the smallest useful programme of work, with clear decisions, timing and cost.
Where we can help
Not a fixed service catalogue. Projects are scoped around what you are trying to find out.
Recombinant expression & purification
Tailored workflows for recombinant proteins and antibodies, including optimisation and troubleshooting.
Assay development
Practical support developing, adapting and optimising research assays.
Troubleshooting & custom R&D
For projects where standard approaches are not giving you the answer.
How we work
A flexible, scientist-to-scientist way of working
Direct scientific collaboration, flexible project design, rapid iteration and clear communication from scoping through delivery.
Scientific brief
You tell us what you are trying to achieve. A few sentences is enough to start.
Discussion
A conversation with the scientist who would run the work, not an account manager.
Proposal
A scoped plan with a realistic approach, timeline and cost.
Project
Iterative execution with results and reasoning shared as we go.
Who we work with
Built for research teams that need flexibility
Academic research groups
Specialist capacity for a protein or assay problem that has stalled, without a long procurement cycle.
Biotech startups
Experimental support that flexes with the science while the team is still small.
Translational & R&D teams
An extra pair of hands with protein expertise for work that sits outside the core pipeline.
Case studies
Problems we help solve
Challenge-led examples of the work.
Low-yield recombinant protein
Construct and condition screening to lift usable yield from a poorly expressing target.
Difficult purification
Rebuilding a purification route where the target co-eluted with a persistent contaminant.
Inconsistent assay signal
Tracing plate-to-plate variability back to its source and stabilising the readout.
