Research Core Facilities

Unity Health Toronto's Research Core Facilities has created an operating model of extensive shared-facility support for basic science research in the Keenan Research Centre. These facilities offer the latest equipment and techniques, in addition to professional training and management. By reducing duplication and increasing usage, the facilities offer significant savings, creating a critical mass where cutting-edge equipment and techniques are available to the team’s scientists. 

The Research Core Facilities are spread over four floors and includes both common and specialized facilities, such as Flow Cytometry, Molecular Biology/Genomics, Histology, Imaging, Cell Culture, and Microfabrication. Each has a core coordinator whose primary role is to train users and provide technical expertise in the design and execution of scientific experiments. In addition, a state-of-the-art vivarium is available, providing training and assistance and adhering to the latest guidelines and regulations.
