Technology areas

Biomedical research requires access to an array of technologies — and to people with the knowledge of how to use them in creative ways — to tackle complex problems. Ó³»­´«Ã½'s scientific platforms bring together professional scientists with deep expertise in distinct technology areas and work collaboratively with researchers within the Ó³»­´«Ã½ community and external partners to make specialized technical capabilities available for a wide range of challenging projects. 

Ó³»­´«Ã½'s platforms engage as partners in experimental design, execution, and analysis; conduct original research; and invent and refine state-of-the-art technologies in their specific scientific domains.
