BioMicro Center News

ABOUT THE BIOMICRO CENTER The MIT BioMicro Center was founded in 2000 as the core bio-fabrication and microarray processing facility at MIT. The Center is a joint endeavor between the Department of Biology, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, the Department of Biological Engineering and the MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences. The BioMicro Center provides MIT faculty members with integrated facilities for high-throughput data-intensive genomics, bioinformatic analysis, as well as large-scale database storage, management, data mining and data modeling required to fully implement systems approaches to investigate a broad spectrum of biological problems. The BioMicro Center is designed to maximize the likelihood of successfully designing, implementing, and analyzing systems biology data. With an expert staff available for consultation and collaboration, including several full time bioinformatics scientists and experimentalist with significant experience in systems biology, ample resources exist to assist MIT researchers in any aspect of the research project. This unique cross-disciplinary collaboration leverages resources, spreading institutional commitment, and providing an environment that strongly encourages intellectual rapport between scientists that contributes to the success of projects. This collaborative environment creates a unique opportunity for interactions of biologists and biological engineers who study a broad range of problems. Investigators are able to adopt novel techniques to address their topics of interest as well as develop new collaborations throughout the institute. Experimental and analytical work done in the BioMicro Center is funded by the NIH and must be made available through the NIH's open access policy. All Koch Institute and CEHS labs must acknowledge their core grants for work done in the core with the following language.
