UNC Research Core Facilities are shared resources which offer a wide range of services to the research community, including cutting edge technologies, high end instrumentation, technical support, and education. Our facilities are committed to enhancing and expanding the collaborative capabilities of research at UNC-Chapel Hill.
All cores are observing COVID-19 safety precautions, including physical distancing and use of personal protective equipment. Please contact each core directly for their current status and updates to their operational procedures.
This searchable database lists all the cores in alphabetical order.
You can browse the entire list or use the search function to sort the entire listing either by broad categories, specific keywords, contact name, or equipment.

Recent Publications supported by UNC Core Facilities- Differential placental CpG methylation is associated with chronic lung disease of prematurity December 3, 2021CONCLUSIONS: Differential placental methylation within genes with key roles in fetal lung development may reflect complex cell signaling between the placenta and fetus which mediate CLD risk. These pathways appear to be distinct based on fetal sex.Wesley M Jackson
- Do Genetic Variants Modify the Effect of Smoking on Risk of Preeclampsia in Pregnancy? November 28, 2021CONCLUSION: Evidence for gene-smoking interaction was limited, but differences by smoking cessation warrant further investigation. We demonstrate the potential utility of expanded dyad methods and gene-environment interaction analyses for outcomes with complex relationships between maternal and fetal genotypes and exposures.Anna E Bauer
- Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting of the Pediatric Brain October 31, 2021Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is increasingly being used to evaluate brain development and differentiate normal and pathologic tissues in children. MRF can provide reliable and accurate intrinsic tissue properties, such as T1 and T2 relaxation times. MRF is a powerful tool in evaluating brain disease in pediatric population. MRF is a new quantitative MR imaging […]Sheng-Che Hung
