Comprehensive Research Cores

Housed throughout the Life Science Building, the Pharmacology and Toxicology Comprehensive Research Cores are multiuser, communal research laboratories that total approximately 4470 sq. ft. of research space maintained by the Department. They provide these services at-cost to the investigator, saving both time and money. Equipment are housed in either a designated Core Facility Room or a Primary Investigator’s laboratory. Once appropriately trained and authorized, the Comprehensive Research Cores are available to all departmental and external researchers. Training includes proper instrument usage, appropriate operating procedures, and experimental design assistance. Also check out the Comprehensive Research Core YouTube Channel for usage assistance. For pricing and scheduling information, please contact the Core Facilities Manager.
