The Technology Cores

Four DRP-HCB Technology Cores, provide state-of-the-art instrumentation, technical expertise and training.

With extensive expertise in technologies including Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Cryo- EM/ET, Imaging, Protein Production and HTP-Cell Biology the Technology Cores are key to the DRP-HCB.

Our technologists source and maintain state-of-the-art equipment, developing new techniques, and creating bespoke tools for data processing, storage and presentation for downstream analysis, publication and re-use. They also provide training in experimental techniques, data collection and analysis, through courses, summer schools and one-to-one ad hoc support.

The DRP-HCB cores also benefit from close links with UoE expert technologists in metabolomics, single cell sequencing and genomics. Including the Edinburgh Genome Foundry (EGF), Edinburgh protein production facility (EPPF) and the Single Cell Sequencing Facility.

Bioinformatics analysis, compute infrastructure and training.
