If you are going south on Highway 6 (from TAMU), take the Nantucket exit and make a U-turn under the bridge to get onto the northbound HW6 feeder road. From the feeder road make a right turn into our complex, take the right immediately after passing the business park entrance (Gateway Blvd). We are located in Suite A of this building, which is on the right hand side.

Please park in the front of the building.

What to bring

  • Yourself
  • A modern laptop (this will not be used for MinIon sequencing, but rather to connect to resources to analyze MinIon data). Just in case, please also bring an Ethernet cable and adaptor if required.
  • Your favorite lab coat if you have one (we will be able to provide one if needed)
  • Pens, markers and something suitable for use as a lab-book
  • DNA to registration (if you have some you want to work with)
