You have the grant, the samples and the research question. What you do not have is a bioinformatician who is free for the next six weeks.
Most African research groups cannot justify a full-time analyst, and cannot recruit one at short notice when a project needs it. The result is data sitting unanalysed while a postdoc teaches themselves R, or a collaboration where the analysis — and the authorship that comes with it — leaves the continent.
We are the third option: an experienced analyst attached to your project for as long as it needs one, and gone when it does not.
What Usually Brings People To Us
Data generated faster than it can be analysed
Sequencing is cheap now; interpretation is the bottleneck. Projects stall between data generation and the first figure.
No in-house bioinformatics capacity
Recruiting takes months, and a single project rarely justifies a permanent post.
Reviewers questioning the analysis
Methods sections written by someone who did not run the analysis rarely survive close review.
Analysis leaving the continent
Outsourcing abroad costs more, takes longer, and the expertise accumulates somewhere else.
What You Get
- A written analysis plan and fixed quote before any work starts
- One named analyst who understands your field, not a ticket queue
- Publication-ready figures at journal specification, with the plotting code
- A methods section drafted with you, naming every tool and version
- Honest reporting when the data cannot answer the question — before a reviewer says it
- Code and documentation so your group can rerun and extend the work
Bring us the research question. The scoping call is free.
