CORE UNITS
Rapid advances in biological and biomedical research have led to a deeper understanding of cellular and molecular processes in health and disease. Researchers therefore need access to efficient high-throughput services that are too costly and labour-intensive for individual higher education institutions. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Clinical Research (IZKF) Münster operates core facilities that specialise in providing cost-effective, state-of-the-art technical and instrumental support to the Medical Faculty of the University of Münster, external faculties, external non-affiliated institutions and industrial researchers.
The IZKF Core Units operate on a cost recovery basis and charges reflect the actual expenses for consumables and service contracts. Moreover, the Core Units promote translational research by interacting closely with academia and industry, ensuring that the technology available is continuously updated. Lectures, workshops and practical courses are organized on a regular basis to keep users informed about current developments.
