The Research Core Facilities were developed by the MCETC/MCTRC and are part of the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research. These facilites provide competent technological support and services to the research community and enable access to high-end, cutting-edge techniques and consultative services that would be extremely difficult for individual investigators to either establish or maintain. In each case, the Facilities aim to ensure high quality, cost-effective services that will expedite and enable exceptional science.
