Kailua, Hi, Us

I help researchers to gain insights to their flow cytometery or single cell sequencing experiments when using FlowJo or SeqGeq analysis applications. I give online as well as one-on-one trainings on the tools available with our analysis apps. I also help develop new and innovative tools for FlowJo and SeqGeq in the form of plugins that are built on statistical programming languages such as R and Python.
