Core Competencies

Close encounters of the 3D kind
Scientists trying to see small features in large tissue samples know it's a time-consuming, often frustrating task.

Brain power to the max
Whole brain microscopy allows researchers to peer inside neurons at the deepest cellular levels – and faster than ever before.

A sharper focus
Core facility’s sophisticated microscopes let campus researchers peer inside living cells.

Internal affairs in the Metabolic Phenotyping Core
UTSW research facilities offer advanced techniques and equipment.

Gut check
Introducing the Microbiome Research Laboratory, a new campus resource for in-depth study of intestinal bacteria.

Dissecting data to defeat disease
The Bioinformatics Core Facility helps researchers across campus add world-class bioinformatics components to their work.

Synthetic chemistry core: Improving potency, stability, safety
Across UT Southwestern, ongoing collaborations in medicinal chemistry strive to improve the potency, stability, and safety of biologically active small molecules.

Expanding at the core
UT Southwestern's High-Throughput Screening Core has expanded to encompass more than 330,000 chemical compounds and an arrayed CRISPR gene-editing library.
