Who we work with

The unit supports investigators across Academia, Nonprofits, and Industry - from a single exploratory section to multi-site consortium programs, including clinical trials and correlative studies. Projects begin on sample receipt, and internal, external-academic, and industry clients have equal priority. Long-term partners can establish tailored services, dedicated capacity, and cost reductions through a strategic alliance.

From sample to data

Sample QC, assay, imaging or sequencing, data processing, quality control, transfer, and retention are handled within the unit. See the technologies for what each platform delivers, or estimate a project.
