Resource Laboratories, formerly called core facilities, have moved beyond simple provision of technical services to making complex experiments possible by providing scientific and technological support for advanced problem-based experimentation and by creating a mechanism for acquisition of new methodologies. To meet this challenge, the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine created The Biomolecular and Cellular Resource Center, or PathBioResource, to enhance the activities of departmental-based resource laboratories by providing an infrastructure for development of academic programs, an expansion of web-based training systems, compliance consistency and maximized external funding efforts. Through partnering with the School of Medicine and institutes and centers within the University, PathBioResource seeks to provide all investigators access to high quality, cost-effective, advanced technology services as well as the scientific expertise necessary to use these technologies effectively.

Individual researchers are urged to credit all resource labs, by name, where experiments were performed in publications..(E.g. Biomedical Imaging Facility/University of Pennsylvania)
