Genomics Services
Advancing Discovery Through High-Resolution Molecular Insights
The Genomics Services arm of the CGIBD’s Advanced Analytics Core offers high-quality, quantitative tools to explore the complexity of gene and protein expression at both bulk and single-cell levels. Whether you’re investigating gene expression, cytokine profiles, or novel biomarkers, our core provides cost-effective access to cutting-edge technologies and an extensive probe library—made possible through a unique cost-sharing model. We support basic and translational research with a focus on flexibility, rigor, and innovation.
