Enquiry

We encourage you to discuss your project with your local NZGL genomics and bioinformatics team before submitting this form.Alternatively the NZGL office can put you in touch with local experts. NZGL provides up to 1 hour of no-charge advice to help you make the best use of our services.

Please note that timeframes for providing you with a quote will vary, depending on the complexity of your project. If you are applying for a quote for a grant application, please leave enough time before your application deadline to ensure you will not be disappointed.
