For CBC Users

Northwestern University, University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago are members of the Chicago Biomedical Consortium (CBC). These universities are partners in the Open Access Initiative that allows researchers at each university to use each other’s core facilities seamlessly.  For information about specific instruments and services, please contact the manager of the core facility you wish to use.  If you have administrative questions about how this works, please contact the Director of Core Facilities at Northwestern University or his counterpart at your university.
