Work with Helix

We’re invested in our clients’ missions and their successes. Getting started with Helix is straightforward and easy, often taking only two weeks after initial inquiry.

We communicate often, openly, and enthusiastically. And this all starts with the simple steps below.

Intro Meeting

One-hour meeting, often a voice or video call, to introduce our areas of expertise and capabilities. You’ll provide a brief, high-level view of your scientific requirements and your expectations for a partnership.

Budget Estimates

Before getting deeper into discussions, we provide a one-page budget estimate that can be used to secure budget approval for an engagement. The estimate includes cost and timelines for services discussed during the introductory meeting.

Legal Agreements

Once a high–level project budget is secured, legal agreements are executed so we can begin exchanging confidential project details. We are committed to rapid turnaround of confidentiality, master services and other agreements to ensure timely start-up and administrative ease.

Technical Call

After legal agreements are in place, we host a 30 min-1 hour meeting to gather whatever details are needed to develop a project proposal or a formal statement of work (SOW).

Statement of Work

Detailed SOWs are a source of pride for Helix. From comprehensive literature review to using resources such as AlphaFold to design constructs, we painstakingly outline our experimental objectives, timelines, and costs. The financial return on your investment in our expertise, technology, and services will be clearly enumerated in this SOW.

Start Project

Once the SOW is approved, we’ll start the engagement with a kick-off call and clear guidance on roles, milestones, and frequent touchpoints, which include weekly communications – with no exception. We’re a true extension of your lab and your team, from our first day as partners to each of our weekly status updates.

"We have consistently been impressed by Helix's expertise, quality, speed, and thoughtfulness throughout our work together. They have proven to be an ideal partner in our structural biology projects, consistently delivering impressive results and maintaining excellent communication every step of the way."

"Helix Biostructures has been delivering exceptional protein production and characterization services to us in the agricultural biotechnology sector. Our work together is defined by a shared dedication to excellence and an in-depth knowledge of the international regulations and standards necessary for the deregulation of biotechnological crops. Our collaboration makes a substantial contribution to our clients' endeavors in sustainably offering biotechnological solutions for crop protection and increased production."

"Collaborating with Helix to elucidate the structure of our therapeutic antibody in complex with its antigen through Cryo-EM was very valuable for our research. Their expertise in protein sciences and structural biology gave us detailed insights into the antibody-antigen allosteric mechanism, advancing our understanding significantly. The data they provided exceeded our expectations and contributed to the publication of a high-impact paper. The professionalism and technical skill of their team made the entire process smooth and efficient."
