Royal Free
The Centre for Biomedical Science (CBS) comprises expert staff and platforms for Advanced Microscopy, Proteomics and Transgenics and prioritises collaborations with investigators located on the Royal Free Campus. Major platforms include:
- Confocal microscopes
- UPLC-Orbitrap/ETD and MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometers
- Plasmid micro-injection stages.
All three units offer advice for project design, costing and grant application. They operate on a cost-recovery basis, and welcome new collaborations in translational biomedical research.
