About CY Hsieh and Lab Grimoire
I teach biotechnology at a university and do R&D at a biotech company.
A lot of research time goes into repetitive tasks.
University biotech teaching
Turns difficult methods into live demos, classroom modules, and clearer explanations.
Biotech R&D
Builds tools around real lab bottlenecks instead of hypothetical product copy.
Browser-native workflows
Keeps analysis approachable, private, and easy to share with students or collaborators.
Why Lab Grimoire?
So I started using code and AI tools to streamline some of the work — organizing literature, running stats, automating analyses. This site is where I document what I've learned along the way, plus some tools you can use directly.
Background
My days split between the lab and the classroom. I occasionally write code to solve problems that come up in research. Not a professional engineer, but I enjoy using technology to get things done.
