RRC Cores

RRC currently has 17 cores that specialize in various research techniques and areas. These cores employ personnel with extensive skill sets in various scientific protocols who are able to assist or fully execute your research projects. Furthermore, these cores maintain a diverse inventory of fully calibrated instruments available for users. Each core offers training on the use of instruments and core staff are equipped with skills and knowledge to troubleshoot equipment usage problems. RRC Cores are divided into three divisions:

Bioanalytics, Biophysics & Cytomics Division
Genome Research Division
Scientific Imaging & Nanotechnology Division

RRC Research Support Units

In addition to the cores, RRC has a suite of Research Support Units:
Research Informatics Core
Scientific Computing Core
Scientific Instrument Shop
Scientific Storeroom
UI Health Biorepository

These units function in collaboration with all other cores as well as individually to give our customers full support in their research endeavors.
