The Biomedical Research Core Facilities (BRCF) serve the elite multidisciplinary research at Westlake University that was birthed with high ambitions. With a can-do attitude, the BRCF seeks to become an enabling mechanism by providing technical solutions that are beyond the capabilities of any individual laboratories, removing barriers to the implementation of complex and sophisticated scientific programs, thus allowing researchers to think big and tackle the most daunting challenges in biomedical research.
As one of the earliest core facilities in operation at Westlake, the BRCF is currently consisted of eight facilities, including the CryoEM, Flow Cytometry, General Equipment & Autoclave Service, Genomics, High-throughput, Mass Spectrometry & Metabolomics, Microscopy, and Phenotypic Analysis Core Facilities.
After the completion of the university campus at Yungu, the BRCF will further improve and strengthen its capabilities, delivering high-quality, high-efficiency, and professional services. The facilities will work closely with their counterparts at other colleges as well as research laboratories to actively participate in technological and scientific research, and in the meanwhile make the latest technological innovations available to Westlake researchers, which in turn will greatly facilitate the translation of new technologies. The BRCF will strive to build a world-class research support system, a platform for talent training, and an incubator for multidisciplinary collaborations.
