Core Facilities Open House Tours
Want more information about core facilities at UNC? Want in-person tours of specific core facilities to meet and interact with core directors and staff? Do you have a specific project for which core facility services are needed?
Core facilities serve as the backbone of UNC’s research infrastructure. During this year’s UNC Research Week (October 23-27) the School of Medicine Office of Research Technologies and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research Research Core Development Team will be coordinating core open houses and tours to allow researchers and potential customers to experience UNC’s core facilities in person.
Meet the core directors and staff, learn about new and upcoming events, view our instrumentation, and imagine how collaboration with our cores can expand your science! No registration necessary.
