Shared Resources Cores

Supporting Breakthrough Science

Cores within Fred Hutch Shared Resources, the Cancer Consortium's Partner Institutions (University of Washington and Seattle Children's), and Fred Hutch scientific divisions are staffed by experts who can help investigators design experiments, choose the most suitable tests and equipment, create customized tests and software tools, and analyze experimental results. We’re proud to offer scientists and biotech partners around the world access to our services in support of their research.
