FOR CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH
Cutting-edge translational biomedical research relies on a constantly evolving set of technologies to advance scientific knowledge and accelerate the transfer of experimental findings into medical practice.
At CIPF, these essential resources are managed through its Core Facilities — an organization designed to provide researchers with access to the latest technology and the highest level of technical expertise. The Core Facilities strive to deliver fast, reliable, flexible, and cost-effective services, offering in-house scientific support with a high degree of customization to meet individual research needs.
The main mission of the CIPF Technology Services is to help scientists address complex biological questions and facilitate the execution of advanced scientific projects. To achieve these goals, the Cores maintain state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation, provide specialized technological support, and advise users on techniques and experimental design. Our services are available both to CIPF-affiliated researchers and to the broader scientific community. The Core Facilities organization fosters a culture of effective knowledge transfer that ensures technological advances flow back to society, the public healthcare system, and industry.
Coordinated management of existing resources and capabilities, a strong collaborative and interdisciplinary culture, and the integration of diverse technologies and unique infrastructures allow us to offer a comprehensive, high-quality technology portfolio. As a result, the Cores remain up to date, providing value-added solutions and scientific applications.
