Technology & Shared Resources Resources for your research
Learn about scientific resources and core facilities specially designed to support the research efforts of MBI members. If you are using these resources, please list the the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida as an author affiliation on your publications.
Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Facility (AMRIS)
AMRIS is an NMR/MRI auxiliary located at the MBI that supports UF research groups and operates as an international user facility for the NSF-funded National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
Microscopy Facility
The Microscopy Facility provides MBI investigators with centralized access to advanced light microscopy for fixed and live samples. The core supports a range of modalities, including widefield fluorescence, confocal, multiphoton and slide-scanning microscopy for tissue sections and whole-mount preparations.
UF Neuromedicine Human Brain and Tissue Bank
Supported by the MBI and CTRND, the University of Florida Neuromedicine Human Brain and Tissue bank provides researchers access to a large collection of samples as well as adjacent lab space.
Computing and Bioinformatics Resources
Centralized support is provided to MBI investigators to access UF’s HiPerGator supercomputing cluster, and also has open seats for the MBI’s user agreement with BioRender, available to PIs who are MBI members.
Behavior and Integrated Neural Systems
The Behavioral and Integrated Neural Systems Core provides MBI investigators with standardized, well-controlled platforms to assess motor, cognitive and affective behaviors in preclinical models.
Molecular Biology Core
The MBI Molecular Biology Core provides researchers with advanced tools and expert guidance for single-cell, spatial and molecular biology workflows, spanning from sample preparation to data generation.
