    Miniaturizing Life: Microfluidics and Microfabrication Facility

    Cell and tissue culture has played an important role in life science research. However, cells in culture behave quite differently from cells in vivo, and the knowledge gained from these cannot be directly extrapolated to cells in the context of an organism. There is a great interest in the scientific community to generate devices that can control the microenvironments of cells in culture.

    Designing and immortalizing genomes: Mouse Genome Engineering Facility

    Contemporary genome engineering technologies have made it possible to use a variety of model organisms to their full potential in genetic research. Although comparatively simpler and time-saving, these technologies still require a considerable amount of technical and scientific skills in addition to state-of-the-art infrastructure. Facilities that can take charge of generating such resources are constantly in demand.
