Shared Resources Cores
Supporting Breakthrough Science
Every investigator at Fred Hutch has access to shared facilities and cutting-edge technologies and expertise that can help speed the process of discovery — and that few individual labs could afford on their own. This multimillion-dollar infrastructure is also accessible to members of the Fred Hutch/University of Washington Cancer Consortium, academic and industry research partners, and some other external clients. Cores within Fred Hutch Shared Resources, the Consortium's Cancer Center Support Grant, 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. In all, they offer dozens of services in addition to access to equipment and tools.
