The Perelman School of Medicine is committed to advancing research and academic endeavors both globally and at Penn. Our research core facilities offer a wide variety of services, ranging from high-throughput screening to cell sorting to high resolution electron microscopy. Through these diverse resources, we provide access to state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation, technical expertise, training and education all designed to support innovative, cutting-edge research.
Announcing PSOM's Inaugural Frontier Core
Inspired by our strategic plan, Serving a Changing World, the Frontier Core Initiative was established to catalyze highly innovative research and transformative ideas promising to alter the trajectory of biomedical research. The initiative supports infrastructure projects not typically fundable through traditional mechanisms. By focusing on non-commercialized technologies, new methodologies, and unique collaborations, we aim to propel groundbreaking advancements in both basic and translational research.
The Advanced Core for Microscopy Engineering will provide researchers with access to cutting-edge microscopy technologies and specialized instrumentation tailored to the unique experimental needs of our community. Additionally, the core will foster innovation by developing a library of software and hardware modules catering to a diverse range of microscopy applications. As our first Frontier Core, it will receive up to $1M in funding over three years. Please visit the Advanced Core for Microscopy Engineering (ACME ) website to learn more about their exciting work.
