Many researchers at the faculty are dependent on advanced and expensive research infrastructure. We have several core facilities to meet this need. A core facility is a specialist laboratory serving researchers from both within and outside its own institution.
More information about the role of core facilities can be found on the about core facilities page.
Advanced Electron Microscopy
We offer high-end imaging technology based on Transmission Electron Microscopy.
Advanced Light Microscopy, Gaustad
We provide services within super-resolution microscopy, live cell microscopy, confocal scanning microscopy, wide-field microscopy, and image analysis.
Advanced Light Microscopy, Montebello
Our services include confocal microscopy, live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy (SIM and STORM), TIRF, and photokinetics.
Bioinformatics
We offer services within bioinformatics, including analysis of next-generation sequencing data, microarray data, protein structure analysis, statistical genomics and access to useful databases and web services.
Chemical Biology Screening
Discover small molecules to probe, explore and modulate biological systems.
Electron Microscopy Laboratory
We offer services within transmission electron microscopy.
Flow Cytometry
We provide services within flow cytometry analysis and cell sorting.
Genomics
We have an extensive set of technologies to study genome structure, dynamics and function.
Human pluripotent stem cells
We provide services on human ES and iPS cell lines.
Large Animal Research
We assist scientists who want to do research on large animals.
Preclinical MR
We do non-invasive imaging and high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Preclinical PET
We provide infrastructure for PET investigations of small animals.
Structural Biology
We provide services within structural biology, and assist with virtual screening for drug design projects.
Translational MRI Neuroimaging
We develop new and advanced MR methods for the study of brain diseases.
Two-photon microscopy
The Norwegian Brain Initiative (NORBRAIN) is a large-scale national infrastructure project addressing the basic principles of brain operation. We have a core facility for two-photon laser scanning microscopy.
Zebrafish
We offer access to fish housing, breeding and use of several instruments specific for research on zebrafish.
