Research activity at TIGEM is supported by eight core facilities that provide state-of-the-art technology as well as “house-keeping” assistance. Each core is supervised by a TIGEM investigator (with the exception of the General Services Core) and is composed of specialized technical staff.
Five cores (AAV vector Core, Behavioural Core, Cell Culture and Cytogenetics Core, Microscopy and Imaging Core, Transgenic and Knock-out Mouse Core Facility) offer high-quality and rapid scientific and technical services that help to improve and speed up the work of TIGEM investigators. The Bioinformatics Core is horizontal since it permeates between both scientific and structural cores. Finally, the Informatics Core and the General Services Core provide maintenance for the Institute’s general activities and resources.
