Core facilities at the Faculty of Medicine

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.

Metabolomics

We analyze metabolites by mass spectrometry based technology.

NORBRAIN

Our core facility has advanced equipment for neuroscientific research

NorSeq:UiO

We offer sequencing services.

Norwegian Transgenic Center

We specialize in advanced transgene technology.

Preclinical MR

We do non-invasive imaging and high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Proteomics

We offer services in mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

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.
