About us
We help bring structure to your research.
- Method development is easy with protocols.io
Tweaking and adopting existing methods is laborious but often unrewarded.
Knowledge around protocol optimization is routinely lost in paper notebooks and poorly reported in published papers.
- Organizing and sharing protocols saves time
By sharing methods on protocols.io in your company or lab, you make sure that knowledge stays with the team, even if the scientist leaves. It also helps to keep the protocols up-to-date and make sure everyone is using the most recent version.
Publishing protocols increases trust
When you provide a citable protocol with your publication, you get credit for the method development and increase the reproducibility and reliability of your paper.

Lenny’s scientific background is in genetics and computational biology. His firsthand struggles in correcting a published protocol during a postdoc at MIT inspired him to cofound protocols.io in 2014, aiming to streamline method sharing and improve research reproducibility. Lenny brings to protocols.io a strong passion for open science and improving research efficiency through technology.
