OUR CORE FACILITIES
When the Center for Biotechnology was formed in 1987, one of the first priorities was to develop state of the art core research facilities that would provide the technical expertise and equipment needs of faculty, staff, students and Nebraska-based businesses on a service basis to conduct research in the field of biotechnology. These facilities continue to function with the goal of providing access on the University campus to state of the art scientific expertise and equipment that are too costly for individual scientists or businesses to have in the laboratories they direct. Another primary function of the facilities is to provide opportunities for educating students about the modern techniques used in the field of biotechnology.
