Research Cores and Shared Services
The College of Medicine and FAU offer a number of cores and shared services to facilitate research across the university.
COM Shared Research Facilities
The College of Medicine provides specialized facilities that support a wide range of research needs for COM faculty, staff, and students. Use by non-COM researchers is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Cell Analytics Facility
Supports fluorescence- and impedance-based technologies to sort and evaluate properties of both fixed and living cells.
Genomics Facility
Provides RNA sequencing, miRNA-Seq, circRNA-Seq, AltSplicing-Seq, and other next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches.
Histology Facility
Offers resources for histological research, quantitative imaging, and morphology studies.
Imaging Facility
Enables detection and analysis of nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis experiments.
iPSC / Disease Modeling Facility
Focuses on genome editing and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for disease modeling.
Molecular Facility
Provides tools for DNA/RNA quantitation, gene expression studies, RT-PCR, Q-PCR, and nucleic acid analysis.
Proteomics Facility
This facility contains equipment to support identification and characterization of proteins.
