Core Facilities
Advanced research in biomedical science and engineering is heavily dependent on advanced and up-to-date sophisticated and costly instrumentation. The Technion continuously supports the acquisition and maintenance of such instrumentation and expert support of its use.
Core facility support to investigators often begins from early ideation phases, continues through planning experiments, preparing grant applications, carrying out the actual experiments, analyzing the results and ultimately, publishing the results. While core facilities have been traditionally affiliated with specific academic units, through growing intra-institutional collaboration, THHI efforts and Technion support, the Technion is moving toward institutional-level core facility development and management.
Access to facilities is now centralized through a common Web site.
