Old revisions Backlinks Rename Page Server intranet ISS - Core Facilities Technical-Scientific Service The ISS - Core Facilities Technical-Scientific Service is a centralized shared resource that provides access to instruments and technologies, as well as expert consultation, to scientific researchers. Area Calcolo Scientifico Area Sequenziamento Area FaBioCell Area Citometria Area EPR Area NMR Area Microscopia Area Proteomica Aree Mission Management of high-cost technologies with transversal possibilities of use within the ISS (Italian National Health Institute), with the aim of facilitating the shared access of the Institute's researchers and external users to the technological platforms; provide for the maintenance and updating of the instrumentation; carry out technical-scientific training activities; design and develop methods and technologies; process data generated by scientific equipment. The Service also provides support for the strategic management of the assets of the Institute's equipment. It also carries out research activities. Vision The Core Facilities promote the improvement of the competence and the technological capability of the ISS, and contribute towards increasing its competitiveness in advanced biomedical research, and its role as a scientific reference for the Country. Multidisciplinary expertise favors the provision of technologically advanced services, and the development of research of excellence, whether independent or in close collaboration with other institutions.
