Client Work and Project Outcomes
What research teams and biotech companies say after working with Microbiome Design. Real projects. Real outcomes.
Research teams come to Microbiome Design with data that needs to mean something. They leave with analysis they can stand behind, results they can publish, and a process they can repeat.
The best evidence is a client who comes back.
Types of projects completed
Human gut microbiome studies for clinical and academic research groups. Soil biodiversity surveys using nanopore and short-read sequencing. Biodegradation monitoring for environmental engineering projects. Marine microbial ecology datasets. Multi-omics integration for biotech R&D, combining metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics outputs into a single interpretable analysis.
What clients typically need
Most clients arrive with one of three problems: data that was processed but never properly interpreted; a study about to start where design decisions have not been made; or an existing project that stalled because the analysis became too complex. Each requires a different approach, and the scoping call is where that gets diagnosed.
References and confidentiality
Client confidentiality is the default. Published case studies are not available without explicit agreement. References — previous clients who are willing to speak about their experience — can be arranged for larger projects on request. Ask during the scoping call.
Common questions
- Do you have published case studies?
- Not public case studies as default, but references are available on request. Client confidentiality is the default unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
- What types of projects have previous clients worked on?
- Human gut microbiome studies, soil biodiversity surveys, biodegradation monitoring, marine microbial ecology projects, and multi-omics integration for biotech R&D.
- Can I speak to a previous client before committing?
- References can be arranged for larger projects. Ask during the scoping call and we will connect you where appropriate.
- How do I know the analysis will be defensible?
- Every method choice is documented. Every QC decision is explained. The deliverable is designed so you can answer any reviewer question about how the analysis was done.
