Our Mission
We believe in serving you, advancing health, and paving the way for great discoveries in biomedical research at the University of Michigan and beyond.
Core Facilities
Cores are centralized facilities or labs which offer shared services, shared equipment, resources and expertise to biomedical researchers and investigators on a fee-for-service basis.
Advanced Genomics
provides high-quality, low-cost DNA analysis for research clients on a recharge basis, including genotyping, gene expression analysis, DNA quantification and quality control
Bioinformatics
develops and applies computational tools and methods to biological or biomedical research data including acquisition, storage, organization, analysis, or visualization of data
New Sealed Tutoreal German Teacher One 1 PC Version Learn Language Diskette DOS
provides easy, on-site procurement of more than 700 different items, including enzymes, reagents, and kits used in molecular, cell biology, and some protein chemistry
Epigenomics
provides resources and services to prepare samples for analysis in epigenetic regulation in both genome-wide and locus-specific manners
STRUTZ Cushioned Arch Supports, Set of 2, Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief, NEW
provides instrumentation and expertise in flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting
Metabolomics
measures and analyzes concentrations of small molecules in biological samples, including targeted and untargeted assays.
Microscopy
offers equipment for microscopic imaging, including fluorescence microscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy
Proteomics & Peptide Synthesis
exceptional access to research services in peptide synthesis, qualitative and quantitative proteomics and protein analysis by mass spectrometry and other techniques
Transgenic Animal Model
produces transgenic mice and rats, CRISPR/Cas9 pipeline, mouse knockout models, ES cell lines, and BAC Recombineering
Vector
produces gene transfer vectors, using AAV, adenovirus, lentivirus, retrovirus, and plasmids, that facilitate the transfer of specific genes into either normal or aberrant cells
How We Help
Standing Together Against Racism
Michigan Medicine leadership recently issued the statement that “we unequivocally recognize racism as a public health issue and we stand together against bias and inequality.”
Here at the Medical School Office of Research, we wholeheartedly endorse this message and the institutional strategy and actions required to take on and defeat racism. Michigan Medicine and the university are adding new tools and resources every day to foster culture change, and we encourage you to connect with the Michigan Medicine Office of Counseling and Workplace Resilience if you are struggling with issues of racism and how it impacts your personal and professional life.
Racism has no place in the Medical School Office of Research. As current events unfold across the country, and the fall-out of the pandemic continues to contribute to anxiety at both a personal and community level, we continue to be committed to nurturing an environment of compassion and inclusion that ultimately helps us fulfill our mission to support research and improve the lives of patients.
The Biomedical Research Store
Provides University of Michigan research investigators with easy, on-site procurement of enzymes, reagents, and kits used in molecular, cell biology, and some protein chemistry.
More than 700 different items from 13 vendors are stocked at five locations for immediate purchase.
The Biosciences Initiative and Medical School Office of Research have partnered to create a powerful, searchable database with information on research cores across campus. The new Michigan Research Cores web portal now enables researchers to easily find and identify the location and capabilities of 70 research cores across campus. Visit the site to learn more!
