Our Story

Who We Are

Scientific Methods first opened its doors in 2003 when two of Scientific Methods’ original co-founders, Dr. Fu-Chih Hsu, entrepreneur and fellow scientist James Larkin formed the company. Today they are both still active within the company. Currently James Larkin takes on more of an advisory role. In 2004, Dr. Rebecca Wong became a board member and continues to be one of the driving forces behind our molecular biology department while overseeing all laboratory operations.


Over the years Scientific Methods has changed and adapted to meet the needs of our clients. Our goal from the beginning has been to provide the best laboratory services possible to our clients while providing a personal touch. We believe in tailoring services to meet a client’s needs. Our interests and services have always been based in the fields of microbiology and molecular biology. This allows us to add to our growing list of services including sample analysis, method & product development, research, consultation, and etc. We have working relationships with other laboratories that perform testing that we do not do. If we can’t help you we may know someone that can.
