{{BioMicroCenter}}

The MIT BioMicro Center encourages researchers to reach out before a project begins. A short conversation at the planning stage can make a significant difference — helping to match the right experimental approach to your scientific question, avoid common design pitfalls, and ensure that data will be interpretable when results come in.

Staff are experienced collaborators. Whether you have a fully formed experimental plan or an early-stage idea, we are happy to think through the problem with you. Consultations are free and we work with researchers at every career stage, from first-year graduate students designing their first sequencing experiment to faculty launching new research directions.

Common topics for pre-project consultation include experimental design and controls, choice of sequencing assay, sample and replicate requirements, expected data volumes and compute needs, and data management planning. For projects that will involve bioinformatics support, early consultation with the analysis team helps ensure the computational work is scoped correctly from the start.

If you are unsure who to contact, start with Stuart — his contact information is below.

== WHO TO CONTACT ==
