Nanofabrication and characterization facility that provides open access to advanced cleanroom infrastructure, instrumentation, and technical expertise. Offers infrastructure for fabrication and characterization of nanoscale materials, systems and devices. Provides user training, process development assistance, and access to specialized expertise for research and prototyping.

The Microscopy Core is a collaboration of the Broad Stem Cell Research Center and the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. The Core's mission is to promote interdisciplinary and collaborative research across UCLA.

The Core provides state-of-the-art, high resolution technologies for imaging and analyzing the molecular and structural organization of cells and tissue as well as bioengineered materials.

The technologies available in this Core include confocal, wide-field fluorescence and live-cell imaging, as well as software for image analysis.

The lab offers automated sample preparation and two distinct mass spectrometry platforms which afford a variety of specific services, ranging from shotgun lipidomics to isotope labeling and mathematical modeling of lipid flux parameters. Our full service lab provides data analysis and consultation services which provide users with accurate analysis of lipid metabolic parameters.
