Join us for the second annual Cores Day!
Discover the exceptional biomedical research resources and services that drive innovation across Weill Cornell Medicine. This event is a unique opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to connect directly with our research core facilities and learn how they can support your work.
Enjoy food and refreshments while exploring informational tables hosted by our expert core facility teams. Ask questions, gain insights, and discover new tools to advance your research. Throughout the day, Core Directors will give live presentations showcasing their facilities and highlighting the remarkable technologies and services available.
Many cores will also offer exclusive discounts and opportunities for attendees who visit their booths.
Cores Day is all about fostering collaboration and strengthening connections across our research community. It’s the perfect chance to see firsthand the advanced instruments, expertise, and support that power discovery at WCM.
Details on presentation times and topics will be added to our website closer to the event.

Cores Day Core Catalyst Awards Live Pitch Session
Location
Belfer, 2nd Floor, Room 204
The Core Laboratories Center is pleased to present the Cores Day Core Catalyst Awards Live Pitch Session, a Cores Day program supporting impactful use of Weill Cornell Medicine’s institutional core facilities.
During this session, selected postdoctoral finalists will briefly present their proposed projects and how they plan to leverage institutional core services. The session will conclude with the announcement of the inaugural Core Catalyst Award recipients. Awards are issued as core credits and applied directly toward approved use of institutional core facilities.
Members of the research community are encouraged to attend and support the postdoctoral researchers selected for this program, and to learn more about how institutional core resources are enabling high-quality, feasible research across Weill Cornell Medicine.
2:30–3:15 PM
Advances in Genomics Technologies and Applications at Weill Cornell Medicine
Presenter: Dr. Jenny Xiang, Director, Genomics Core
Location
Belfer, 2nd Floor, Room 204
At WCM Cores Day, the Genomics Core Laboratory will highlight recent updates and advances in its genomics services. The presentation will feature state-of-the-art, high-throughput second-generation (short-read) and third-generation (long-read) sequencing technologies, single-cell sequencing using On-Chip Multiplex (OCM), and protein analysis through Olink PEA technology. The session will also provide an overview of key applications for these platforms, emphasizing how they inform experimental design and support a broad range of biomedical research.
Attendees who register in advance and attend the session in person will be entered into a raffle to win a subsidy for use in any CLC facility.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for making our 2nd annual Cores Day possible!
