K-State vet med launches biomedical core facilities

The College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 30 for the new Biomedical Core Facilities, which will provide low-threshold access to well-maintained, state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise to foster multidisciplinary collaboration across K-State.

The $3.4 million, 5,000 square-foot facility, located on the second floor of Mosier Hall in the College of Veterinary Medicine, was funded through a C06 construction grant from the National Institutes of Health.

The core facility strategically collocates disciplines, including molecular and cellular biology, microscopy imaging, flow cytometry and cell sorting, animal modeling and pathology and next-generation sequencing to promote a robust and efficient research and training environment.
