Facilities

A person pulls a tank of fish out of a rack in the aquatic animal care facilities.
Provides support for researchers using aquatic and semi-aquatic animal models, primarily fish, to study vertebrate genomics and vertebrate development. 
A person stands in front of a liquid handling platform in the G C 3 F core facility.
GC3F supports life science research with advanced instrumentation, including DNA sequencing, advanced light microscopy, flow cytometry, sample prep, microscopy, and fragment analysis. 
A person looks at M R I scans of a brain on a computer screen.
The Lewis Center is a core research facility supporting a wide range of interdisciplinary, multifaceted research in neuroscience and biological imaging.
A person stands at a workbench in the Oregon Fabrication and Design facility.
OFAD operates the scientific instrument machine shop and the fabrication and 3D printing labs at the University of Oregon. It is staffed by professional machinists who support internal and external research projects through design and fabrication. 

 

Two gloved hands gently cradle a mouse.
Animal Care Services (ACS) is responsible for administering all activities related to the care and use of animals. 
A person looks into the lenses of a microscope.
The imaging facility is part of the Genomics and Cell Characterization Core Facility. It supports scientific researchers and provides high resolution, state-of-the-art microscopy technologies for imaging.

The Zebrafish International Research Center (ZIRC) provides a central repository for wild-type and mutant strains of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and for materials and information about zebrafish research to labs worldwide.

A sister resource to ZIRC, the Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN) is an online database for zebrafish genetics, genomics, and development. ZFIN incorporates genetic mapping data from the zebrafish genome initiative and provides links to related gene information in species-specific databases. Researchers can register and submit new mutant allele and gene names to the nomenclature committee.
