Core Facilities & Services
The biomedical research undertaken by groups at the IRB Barcelona is supported by an extensive range of core facilities that provide state-of-the-art technologies and scientific services, some of which are high throughput.
IRB Barcelona core facilities and services
- Advanced Digital Microscopy (ADM) Core Facility. The Advanced Digital Microscopy (ADM) Core Facility
is a newly created facility committed to providing a complete range of light microscopy imaging services to IRB Barcelona and PCB Barcelona researchers and visiting scientists.
- Biostatistics / Bioinformatics Unit. The mission of the Biostatistics / Bioinformatics Unit is to conduct collaborative research and provide consultation and quantitative research resources to all the IRB Barcelona research groups.
- Functional Genomics Core Facility. The Functional Genomics Core Facility provides state-of-the-art tools for genomic research, including genome wide expression profiling, DNA copy number-, and SNP analysis.
- Mass Spectrometry Core Facility. The Mass Spectrometry Core Facility is equipped with high accuracy and high resolution mass spectrometers with new incorporated MS techniques.
- Mouse Mutant Core Facility. The Mouse Mutant Core Facility generates murine models of disease and development for researchers within IRB Barcelona and their collaborators.
- Protein Expression Core Facility. The Protein Expression Core Facility provides a range of ‘High Through-Put’ (HTP) services for the local academic scientific community.
Other scientific services of IRB Barcelona
Researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine have access to other services and facilities provided by the Barcelona Science Park (Parc Científic de Barcelona, PCB), where the IRB Barcelona laboratories are located, by the UB Scientific and Technical Services, most of which are also located also at the PCB, and finally, by the Biotechnology Platforms, all hosted by the PCB.
