The University of Louisville supports a range of core facilities as part of the overall research enterprise. Core facilities are unique, standalone research laboratories, arrayed into functional areas, that provide researchers across the university (and external parties, as relevant) with access to advanced technologies and research services, sophisticated and expensive research equipment, and skilled, service-oriented scientific and technical personnel.
UofL appreciates the important roles that core facilities play in the university’s ability to conduct cutting-edge research, competitiveness for recruiting and retaining strong faculty, and competitiveness for securing external research funding. Recognizing that core facilities represent increasingly important components of the university research enterprise, UofL has committed to enhancing our strategic focus on more effectively coordinating and managing core facilities.
The core facilities listed below include open access cores that serve researchers across the university as well as facilities that collaborate with more limited subsets of researchers. Please contact the individual core facilities to learn more, and feel free to contact us in the Office of Research & Innovation if you have questions or need additional information.
