Partner Facilities
IGSB is collaborating with several facilities at the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and other Chicago institutions to maximize the resources available to investigators within the Institute
The University of Chicago
The Functional Genomics Facility (FGF)
Provides resources for investigating gene functions with a focus on applying DNA/protein microarray technology. [more info]
Human Tissue Research Center (HTRC)
Provides a mechanism for researchers and scientists to obtain and process tissue for research. HTRC provides ancillary services of laser capture microdissection (LCM), molecular studies, immunohistochemistry (IHC), tissue microarray (TMA), and image analysis. The HTRC services are available to UC scientists, or collaborative research studies. [more info]
DNA Sequencing and Genotyping Facility
The Cancer Research Center DNA Sequencing and Genotyping Core Facility operates two Applied Biosystems 3730XL and one 3130XL genetic analyzers for small and high throughput users. [more info]
Biological Sciences Division Office of Shared Research Facilities
Centralized areas of technology and expertise providing a wide variety of services to support the research efforts of the University. [more info]

Kelleher Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Utilizing Fourier-Transform Mass Spectrometers, the Kelleher Laboratory is at the forefront of developing and implementing technology to move proteomic experiments from their descriptive beginnings to an integrated, combinatorial look at protein variation. [more info]
Mesecar High-Throughput Screening Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago
This high-throughput-screening lab is equipped with liquid-handling robots, multi-mode plate readers, and a chemical library composed of over 60,000 synthetic compounds, 200 natural products, and 5000 natural product extracts. [more info]
Northwestern University's High Throughput Analysis (HTA) Laboratory
The HTA Laboratory is a shared, open-access resource established in 2004 on the Northwestern University campus. The HTA provides academic, industrial, and private researchers with equipment and expertise for the development and execution of high throughput biological analysis and screening. The facility is fully equipped with state-of-the-art liquid handling, plate detection and automated microbial culture handling capabilities. [more info]
