Research Facilities
Advanced Structural Biology for Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
The Advanced Structural Biology for Re-emerging Infectious Diseases (ASTRID) facility supports research into the structural analysis of proteins and protein-protein interactions through a group of shared facilities and equipment.
Biofactorial High-Throughput Biology Facility
The Biofactorial High-Throughput Biology Facility is equipped with high-throughput automation infrastructure, including for liquid handling and dispensing, plate reading, cell plating, colony picking, and library preparation for sequencing, and additionally provides access to metagenomic and chemical compound libraries for screening.
Super Resolution Microscopy Core
The Super Resolution Microscopy Core (SRMC) facility provides access to state-of-the-art equipment for super resolution and confocal microscopy, high content imaging, live cell imaging, and analysis software. Users benefit from expert training and support on all instrumentation.
Facility for Infectious Disease and Epidemic Research
The Facility for Infectious Disease and Epidemic Research (FINDER) is a 6,700-square foot containment level 3 facility offering self-contained suites for microbiology, proteomics, imaging, flow cytometry, and freezer storage. FINDER supports research in bacterial and viral infectious diseases and the development of vaccines and therapeutics for risk group 3 pathogens.
High Resolution Macromolecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy
The High Resolution Macromolecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy (HRMEM) facility provides researchers with resources for high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, including Talos, Glacios, and Krios microscopes, and equipment for sample preparation.
Centre for Diseaes Modelling
The Centre for Diseaes Modelling (CDM) is a small rodent animal facility. The CDM is part of the UBC Animal Care and Use Program, a university-wide program that provides training and resources to all UBC persons who work with animals in their research.
