Shared Resources
The HICCC supports and manages shared resources, providing services that are essential to basic and translational cancer research. Specific services, user fees and contact information can be found by navigating to each facility below. The shared resources are available to all investigators. Members of the cancer center benefit from subsidized fees for services.
Several facilities are under new leadership and the HICCC has invested in new equipment and services. Feedback relating to current services or future needs is always welcome through resource managers.Â
