Learn From Us
Students, professors on sabbaticals, entrepreneurs, etc. can all learn how to apply leading-edge technologies in transformation and molecular analyses of both monocot and dicot plant species via our:
- One-on-one training program
- Group workshops
- Academic or industrial consultations
Please contact us for more information.
Start With Us
You'll be off to a great start when you let us take on the initial stages of the transformation process including different methods of DNA transfer into desired plant species, e.g., via Agrobacterium, biolistics, electroporation, and vacuum infiltration.
Please contact us for more information.
Work With Us
Use our centralized facility, state of the art equipment, and materials alongside us.
