Lean laboratory design and discovery systems for early-stage biotech teams

What We Do

Minimal Bio helps early-stage biotech companies design and operate capable molecular biology laboratories with minimal capital and operational overhead. The focus is practical: reduce unnecessary spend, remove complexity, and improve experimental throughput.

How We Help

Lab Setup Consulting

Design and implement molecular biology laboratories optimized for your budget, footprint, and discovery workflow.

Protocol Optimization

Improve reliability, throughput, and cost efficiency by reducing workflows to their essential steps.

Equipment Sourcing

Identify fit-for-purpose equipment and negotiate vendor solutions without unnecessary premium features.

Workflow Automation

Design automation strategies that scale with your team and reduce manual experimental overhead.

Built from Experience

I’m Michael Minson, PhD, a biochemist with experience building and scaling discovery platforms in resource-constrained startup environments. I now help other teams design laboratories and workflows that are efficient, maintainable, and cost-effective.
