Research Facilities

The facilities are managed by expert support staff, who can also provide training and advice on experimental set up.

The facilities are overseen by an academic or an academic steering group responsible for ensuring that the facility is operated and equipped for maximum benefit to the research community. In most cases, you will need to undergo training or at least an induction to make use of the facilities listed below.

To book one of these facilities contact the support staff responsible for each facility.
