Find a Core Facility

Core facilities play an integral role in our research infrastructure, empowering researchers to break new ground by offering specialized laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment, unique instrumentation and shared services managed by scientists with the technical expertise and experience to help others.

There are two types of Rutgers research core facilities.  Centrally-managed core facilities are managed by the Office for Research and Locally-managed core facilities are managed by local units include schools, centers, or institutes.  Centrally-managed core facilities are indicated in red text below the facility name.
