The Cambridge BRC Cell Phenotyping Hub is an important part of Cambridge BRC infrastructure and, simultaneously, a part of the cross-cutting Inflammation, Infection and Immune-therapeutics research theme. The Hub delivers advanced scientific technologies supporting excellence in research in a partnership between the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The Hub’s mission is to provide state-of-the-art Cytometry and cost-effective high quality scientific, educational, and technological services covering 3 major areas:
- Research
- Clinical
- Technology
Our services include (but are not limited to) cell and tissue processing, Cell Sorting, Flow Cytometry, cell and tissue imaging, and Cell Phenotyping. A further function of the Hub is to collect and to disseminate the unique Technological and Scientific expertise crucial for promoting and supporting patient-based basic research and for translating basic biological findings into clinical practice. The Hub drives technological innovations and applies technical and instrumental advances to expand the portfolio of services and fulfil the emerging research needs. Through our collaborative Research and Development service, we foster and fortify collaborations that result in many major publications.
The Hub is equipped with state-of the art equipment including Cell Sorters, Cytometers, Spectral Analysers and Microscopes.
The Hub laboratories are located across 3 sites:
- Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre (JCBC)
- Level 6 and Level 5 of the Addenbrooke’s main hospital block
- Victor Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Institute
For access to the Hub services, all new clients and prospective collaborators are invited to attend a Hub induction with Nika Romashova or Natalia Savinykh Yarkoni to discuss their research needs and to customise services. Project-focused consultations, theory courses, and practical tutorials on instruments can be arranged after completing the induction
For all the bookings, cancellations and technical problems please e-mail BRC Hub Request.
