"I’ve been using BioFigR for metagenomic analysis and have been consistently impressed. Working with Stephen has been a great experience. His personable nature makes collaborations enjoyable, while his deep knowledge, thoroughness, and attention to detail keep projects smooth and stress-free.
He understands that bioinformatics is a step-by-step process and adapts seamlessly as analyses evolve, providing insights and suggestions that only someone working directly with the data can offer. This flexibility and perspective set him apart from other services I’ve used."

Value Proposition
Hi, I'm Stephen Stockdale.
​
After more than a decade in post-graduate research — followed by several years managing all of Ireland for a global sequencing provider — I saw a gap. Generating sequencing data has never been easier or cheaper, but access to high-quality, bespoke bioinformatics remains limited.
​
I founded BioFigR to change that. With a background in bioinformatics data analysis and hands-on experience supporting hundreds of clients with their "-omics" projects, I understand the needs of both researchers and service providers.
​​
BioFigR offers a flexible, contract-based model for on-demand bioinformatics — professional, affordable, and scientifically credible.
