Core Facilities

Our school’s shared core instrumentation and transgenic animal facilities support research by UB faculty and investigators at our affiliated institutions

These facilities not only house state-of-the-art equipment but in many cases also provide data analysis, training and grant writing consultation.

The Health Sciences Collaborative Core Facilities (HSCCF) provide multipurpose services to the biomedical research community at the University at Buffalo.

These centers are your source for solutions to a wide variety of research problems by leveraging the knowledge and experience of PhD-level lab managers, administrators and directors.

  • Confocal Microscope and Flow Cytometry Facility
    11/7/23
    The Confocal Microscope and Flow Cytometry Facility (CMFCF) is a Dept. Pathology and Anatomical Sciences (PAS) service center serving the researchers in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as well as the scientists located on the South and North Campus’s at the University at Buffalo.  We are part of the Health Sciences Collaborative Core Facilities and work closely with other PAS cores as well as the core facilities in the School of Dental Medicine to provide comprehensive and integrative services to solve the imaging and cytometry challenges presented by cutting-edge research programs.  The imaging and cytometry instrumentation installed in the new Jacobs School of Medicine site are the latest, state of art flow cytometers and optical microscopes.
  • Electron Microscopy Core Lab
    6/18/20
    Enables researchers to obtain transmission electron microscope images of materials, polymers and biological samples; consults with investigators and assists with equipment operation.
  • Histology Core
    8/16/23
    Performs all procedures related to tissue preservation and histological analysis, including training on cryostat use and other protocols.
  • Multispectral Imaging Suite
    10/2/19
    We provide training and consultation services for students, faculty, researchers and clinicians whose work involves digital whole slide imaging (WSI) and multispectral microscopy for research, teaching or clinical interests.

Stem Cell Culture and Analysis Cores

These core facilities, part of the Western New York Stem Culture and Analysis Center, facilitate fundamental and translational stem cell research and development.
