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 light microscopy
We provide services within super-resolution microscopy, live-cell imaging, confocal microscopy, high-content imaging microscopy, TIRF, wide-field microscopy, laser capture microscopy, photokinetics, and image analysis.
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.
Clinical Nutrition
We have advanced equipment for use in clinical nutrition studies.
Electron Microscopy Laboratory
We offer services within transmission electron microscopy.
Flow Cytometry
We provide services within flow cytometry analysis and cell sorting.
Global metabolomics and lipidomics
Our methods are designed to capture as many small molecular species as possible, not only a pre-selected list of compounds.
Human pluripotent stem cells
We provide services associated with production, characterization and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells.
Large Animal Research
We assist scientists who want to do research on large animals.
NORBRAIN
Our core facility has advanced equipment for neuroscientific research
Preclinical MR
We do non-invasive imaging and high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
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 MRI methods for the study of brain diseases.
Zebrafish
We offer access to fish housing, breeding and use of several instruments specific for research on zebrafish.
