Bioinformatics Support

The Directorate provides support for bioinformatics activities by means of two dedicated Research Fellows with expertise in Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, Data Storage and Analysis. PIs should submit an Expression of Interest Form for projects involving substantial support.

Electron Microscopy

The University's Research Technology Platform houses a transmission cryo-electron microscope with in-column energy filter and a top of the line director electron detector and is a partner in the MRC-funded midlands Cryo-EM facility which will deliver access to 300Kv instrumentation.

Proteomics

The Proteomics Research Technology Platform undertakes collaborative projects with both UK and international academic or commercial institutions using protein profiling, quantitative proteomic studies, phosphorylation and post-translational modification mapping.

Zebrafish

Our 1200-tank aquatics system is built with support from the Warwick Medical School and the Wellcome Trust. The facility supports zebrafish research by groups accross the University, to address questions of fundamental and biomedical relevance.
