About
At Later Gator Labs, our mission is to provide technical services for researchers that strive to understand the distribution and localization of mRNA and proteins on cell culture experiments and in tissue samples.
The staff hold US Biomedical Scientist License and International Biomedical Science License and serve as members of the British Chartered Scientist Council.
Services
NanoString: Beyond Gene Expression
