Our Mission
Helping researchers economically and efficiently take advantage of the latest technology and collaborate with top experts in the field.
Core Facilities
Cores are centralized facilities or labs which offer shared services, shared equipment, resources and expertise to biomedical researchers and investigators on a fee-for-service basis.
Advanced Genomics
provides high-quality, low-cost DNA analysis for research clients on a recharge basis, including genotyping, gene expression analysis, DNA quantification and quality control
Bioinformatics
develops and applies computational tools and methods to biological or biomedical research data including acquisition, storage, organization, analysis, or visualization of data
Biomedical Research Store
provides easy, on-site procurement of more than 700 different items, including enzymes, reagents, and kits used in molecular, cell biology, and some protein chemistry
Epigenomics
provides resources and services to prepare samples for analysis in epigenetic regulation in both genome-wide and locus-specific manners
Flow Cytometry
provides instrumentation and expertise in flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting
Metabolomics
measures and analyzes concentrations of small molecules in biological samples, including targeted and untargeted assays.
Microscopy
offers equipment for microscopic imaging, including fluorescence microscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy
Proteomics & Peptide Synthesis
exceptional access to research services in peptide synthesis, qualitative and quantitative proteomics and protein analysis by mass spectrometry and other techniques
Transgenic Animal Model
produces transgenic mice and rats, CRISPR/Cas9 pipeline, mouse knockout models, ES cell lines, and BAC Recombineering
Vector
produces gene transfer vectors, using AAV, adenovirus, lentivirus, retrovirus, and plasmids, that facilitate the transfer of specific genes into either normal or aberrant cells
The Biomedical Research Store
Provides University of Michigan research investigators with easy, on-site procurement of enzymes, reagents, and kits used in molecular, cell biology, and some protein chemistry.
More than 700 different items from 13 vendors are stocked at five locations for immediate purchase.
