Project Description

Independent researcher working on independent scientific research project involving Borrelia needs microbiology laboratory to prepare subcultures of the bacteria (biosafety level 2), ensure that they have entered persister state by treating the samples with an antibiotic, and then prepare to send out the samples for proteomics analysis. You would NOT need to do the proteomics as many facilities offer this service already. I need someone to prepare the samples.

I am not associated with any organization or company - this is just for personal research. I am trying to find a way to cure persister lyme disease. I am a recent college student so the lowest price you can give me the better. What would this cost?
Ideally we could culture the bacteria on nerve tissue but this may be too expensive. We will start with 6 samples (3 to culture in persister state, 3 control) but depending on the cost we could do 12 samples with the additional 6 being on nerve tissue.
