Equipment, staff and services are provided to support and overcome the experimental and computational challenges that our principal investigators, researchers and students may face.
MBI fosters collaboration across disciplines to better understand the systems biology of mechanical functions, recognizing that innovation often stems from individual researchers working within a collaborative environment.
MBI’s Microscopy Core is the largest of MBI’s core facilities, serving as the backbone for most of the experimental work at the Institute. The Core supports image related research, offering a wide range of microscopes and image analysis resources.
The Nano and Microfabrication Core helps with the design and fabrication of innovative devices to further our biological understanding of the cell.
MBI laboratories are designed on the bold concept of an ‘open laboratory’. There are no walls or partitions separating one principal investigator’s group from another and benches are communal, as are the core facilities and common shared equipment such as autoclaves, deep freezers, centrifuges and other standard bench-top equipment.
The High-Throughput Molecular Genetics (HMG) Core is committed to developing and implementing molecular genetics and systems biology methodologies to advance mechanobiology research.
