Scientific Services
Bioinformatics
A team of experienced bioinformaticians and statisticians all with a biological background. We provide advice and assistance on using computational methods to extract biological information.
Biological Chemistry
Key services include chemical synthesis and analytical chemistry. We use our extensive chemical knowledge and use of chemical tools to address biological research questions.
Biological Support Unit (BSU)
A state of the art facility served by a centralised service. The BSU offers high health status, quarantine and Containment Level II holding and associated procedure areas.
Flow Cytometry
Flow Cytometry offers high quality, world class instrumentation to help meet our research goals. Within the facility there are self-use analysers and cell sorters that are run as a service.
Gene Targeting
The team can help with designing a targeting strategy through to the production of transgenic mice, as well as a range of additional services.
Imaging
The imaging team provide a range of services including advice on experiment design, advanced image processing and analysis, training and support for a range of imaging modalities.
Mass Spectrometry
The primary role of the Facility is to apply state of the art techniques in mass spectrometry to address important biological questions, within the remit of the Institute.
Genomics (previously sequencing)
The Genomics facility brings together expertise in library preparation, library QC and sequencing services to offer sample-to-sequence solutions for projects.
