Research Cores and Shared Services
The College of Medicine and FAU offer a number of cores and shared services to facilitate research across the university.
COM Shared Research Facilities
The College of Medicine provides specialized facilities that support a wide range of research needs for COM faculty, staff, and students. Use by non-COM researchers is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Cell Analytics Facility
Supports fluorescence- and impedance-based technologies to sort and evaluate properties of both fixed and living cells.
Genomics Facility
Provides RNA sequencing, miRNA-Seq, circRNA-Seq, AltSplicing-Seq, and other next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches.
Histology Facility
Offers resources for histological research, quantitative imaging, and morphology studies.
Imaging Facility
Enables detection and analysis of nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis experiments.
iPSC / Disease Modeling Facility
Focuses on genome editing and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for disease modeling.
Molecular Facility
Provides tools for DNA/RNA quantitation, gene expression studies, RT-PCR, Q-PCR, and nucleic acid analysis.
Proteomics Facility
This facility contains equipment to support identification and characterization of proteins.

FAU Core Facilities
Florida Atlantic University offers additional core facilities and shared services that are accessible to investigators across the university.
- Advanced Cell Imaging Core
- Biostatistics Collaborative Core
- Clinical Research Unit
- Comparative Medicine / Animal Care and Use
- MRI & Human Imaging
- Neurobehavior Core
FAU also has reciprocity agreements with The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience for access to their core facilities. FAU faculty can access these cores with equal priority and on a cost basis. Visit the FAU Cores page for more information.
