| Welcome.
The University of Calgary
has established research platforms providing many of the
essential technologies that support contemporary biomedical
research across many domains of activity (genomics, proteomics
, cellular and medical imaging, and bioinformatics). These
platforms are complemented by basic service
facilities.
The Centre for Advanced Technologies
(CAT) is the umbrella under which the Faculty of Medicine has
gathered these core facilities in support of your
research.Following are
the core facilities, services and technologies comprising
CAT:
"It is for good
reason that the resources comprising the Centre for Advanced
Technologies are referred to as "core facilities" - they are
truly core to the research mission of the Faculty. These
technologies facilitate the broadest possible impact and are a
key investment in the innovative program of research
inquiry."

Descriptions and contact information for
individual facilities are available from the
facility-maintained web sites, which you can select from the
drop-down menu above.
We have also prepared a summary of
our facilities, their capabilities and contacts in PDF
format.
The primary focus of these facilities is the
research program of the Faculty of Medicine at the University
of Calgary; however, many facilities have the capacity to
address the needs of external clients. Collaborative research
ventures are of particular interest.
CAT's facilities provide service on a cost
recovery basis. Differential fee structures may apply to
non-university or non-faculty customers.
For further information please contact the
facility director for the service of interest or the CAT administrative
office.
Clinical laboratory testing and services
related to the disciplines of anatomic pathology/cytopathology,
clinical biochemistry, hematology, microbiology and transfusion
medicine can be made available through Calgary Laboratory
Services. For further information contact research@cls.ab.ca
