Trans-institutional Technological Core Facilities offer specialized tools to assist research teams in the conduct of their projects and are a major part of the CTSC infrastructure. The principal objective of the essential core facilities listed below are to ensure that CTSC translational research teams have access to state-of-the-art technologies that support all stages of the translational research process. They provide quality service spanning participating institutions. Other cores are also available. The partnering institutions, with their numerous Technical Cores, are well positioned to leverage these assets to facilitate the conduct of translational research within the CTSC. Most of these Cores are on the "The Avenue" making them geographically very accessible to the CTSC community:
