What is the Core Laboratories Center?
The Core Laboratories Center, also referred to as the CLC, are 17 centralized core facilities that provide access to instruments, technologies, services, expert consultations, and other services to all of Weill Cornell's researchers. Our cores are designed to enhance the productivity and effectiveness of research by providing access to high-quality, cost-effective resources that would otherwise be challenging for individual research groups to maintain on their own.
The Importance of the CLC
State-of-the-art Resources and Expertise: The CLC house cutting-edge equipment and technical expertise that would be prohibitively expensive or impractical for individual labs to maintain. The CLC facilities allows researchers from a broad array of disciplines to leverage advanced technologies and methodologies to push the boundaries of their work.
Economies of Scale: The CLC allows Weill Cornell to pool resources and provide researchers with access to expensive equipment and specialized personnel at a fraction of the cost it would take to independently establish and maintain such resources.
Training and Education: The CLC not only provides resources but also serve as hubs for education and training. Our Core Leaders help researchers learn new techniques, use new equipment, and develop new research methodologies.
Quality Control and Standardization: The CLC have dedicated staff that maintain equipment, provide user training, and ensure the use of best practices. This enhances the quality and reproducibility of the research conducted at our institution.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is to foster a conducive environment for cutting-edge research, providing our researchers with the tools and expertise necessary to make significant strides in their respective fields. We continuously strive to stay abreast of the latest developments in technology and methodology to ensure our researchers have the most advanced resources at their fingertips.
