The Bioinformatics Support Unit is a joint venture between the Faculty of Medical Science (FMS) and the School of Agriculture and Engineering (SAgE). We aim to provide support for data analysis and experimental design from sequence analysis, transcriptomics, proteomics and beyond. Please email us on our helpdesk address: support@bsu.ncl.ac.uk. Please note this email address will not accept email outside of the ncl.ac.uk domain.

To contact a member of the BSU directly, or if you are an researcher external to Newcastle who would like to engage our services please contact:
