Our
Core facilities

The Core Facilities include a set of units that provide research resources to assist campus biomedical researchers. Our core facility units offer a number of services, ranging from genomics or microscopy to our animal facility. Specific-hospital associated platforms, such as the biobank and the clinical trials are also a hallmark.

Through these different resources, we supply equipment and instrumentation, technical expertise and training to promote innovative, cutting edge research. Core facilities offer their services to the entire IDIBELL community, as well as external institutions and private companies.
