Long-Term Training
Researchers may obtain a personal bench space, have access to GATC equipment, and perform experiments in the facility for a flexible length of time. This service is especially useful for investigators interested in exploring new techniques, and obtaining pilot data sets for external funding proposals. We are available to provide you with specialized one-on-one guided training until you become proficient in the technique(s) of interest. You will be given opportunities to apply the lessons independently following each scheduled session. The schedules are determined and agreed upon based on the topics that will be covered.
Fees cover basic laboratory consumables and supplies. Additional consumable items such as enzymes and specialty plastics are not included. The users pay the same low fee as those who are participating in the Research Program.
