The Histology Core Facility (HCF) offers competences and equipment to perform fast, medium throughput histology processes like tissue processing, sectioning and staining for researchers.
The HCF provides services, equipmenttraining and assistance in setting up protocols. After training, users have access to the equipment in the core facility.
Campus Biotech offers to the researchers an up-to date biosafety level 1 cell culture resource, enabling to work in a controlled environment.
