Shared Resources

The UWCCC takes pride in supporting a wide array of shared resources, to provide access to cost effective, state-of-the-art research technology and techniques and world class expertise that enable research along the entire basic to community/population research continuum. Our shared resources are aligned to support multidisciplinary research and unite physicians and scientists to speed the transfer of science to patients, and cover a broad expanse of research service categories as shown in the UWCCC Shared Resources – Research Service Categories clickable image to the right/below. Click on a category in the image to explore resources in that area of study, or see our UWCCC Shared Resources – Alphabetical List.
