Comments
They handle projects of any size, from single sample analysis to long-term work as collaborators or subcontractors. Each client is assigned a Ph.D.-level scientist to coordinate their project, meeting budget and deadline needs. CFG maintains core competencies in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, transgenesis and cell and tissue culture.
