Core provides comprehensive flow cytometry analysis and cell sorting including instrumentation, technical support, training and consultation.

BrainWorks is the service core arm of the Center for Neurocognition and Behavior, one of the Wu Tsai Institute’s three research centers. It is a world-class facility for measuring the healthy human brain and behavior in action. Located on the first floor of 100 College Street with a dedicated entrance and spaces designed for participant comfort, this facility houses state-of-the-art equipment, including MRI, SQUID and triaxial OPM MEG, EEG, NIRS, TMS, VR, eye-tracking, and body motion tracking.

The West Campus Imaging Core (WCIC) is providing access and training to a broad collection of shared instruments currently including a fleet of optical microscopes with three confocal systems, two wide-field systems, a light sheet system, laser-microdissection system, a cell-culture microscope, a stereomicroscope, an optical tweezer system, and an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The Core also maintains cell culture equipment such as a biosafety cabinet, incubators, a refrigerator, and microfuges and lab support areas for cell culture and sample preparation.

The Yale CBIC has a range of instruments for characterization and structure elucidation of chemical and biophysical samples. Our staff maintains the instruments and provides data collection services as well as training and support for self-use of many of our instruments. We are most equipped in the areas of NMR spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography, but we also have optical and calorimetric instruments.

The Yale Zebrafish Phenotyping Core (YZPC) was founded with two goals. First, to model human diseases in zebrafish with the long-term goal of facilitating small molecule screens for novel therapies. Second, to lower the barrier of entry for Yale investigators seeking to carry out experiments in zebrafish.

We perform gene modification and phenotyping via immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and live imaging. Users can engage with the core on assisted or unassisted projects.
