Both Core Facilities (NY and AD) have a variety of instruments to accommodate the needs of NYU researchers. Services range from expression profiling to automation to flow cytometry and more. The facilities continue to evolve as technology is added and new areas of research are conducted.
The facilities are overseen by Directors and Faculty Directors who supervise their development and management, and a team of highly-skilled specialists who maintain and oversee equipment.
