Neuromics Support Facility

The Neuromics Support Facility (NSF) is a competence center within CMN with high-impact expertise in sequencing technologies, data analysis, bioinformatics, and imaging. We maintain state-of-the-art, dependable, efficient, and flexible support for the main research activities of CMN. As a support facility, our responsibility is to explore the latest technologies and propose the most suitable solutions for CMN research. We develop methods, protocols, and workflows needed to optimally exploit platforms we have in-house and establish working collaborations to provide access to the platforms and technologies that are not directly available. By having a technology support-focused unit integrated within CMN, research groups have direct access to up-to-date tools that allow exploration of their scientific ideas, which has a proven history in KPI, such as publications, tech transfer, and education.

With fast-evolving technology in science, one of the most important needs in CMN is to have access to the latest, high-quality technological expertise while retaining important knowledge that is often lost due to employee migration. NSF members help with project design, execution, and data analysis and interpretation in the fields of genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, and imaging. As technology is one of the main bases of a good research strategy, it is important that CMN scientists and researchers have easy access to and a comprehensive understanding of technological advances and platforms on offer. CMN established NSF to retain the expertise, to integrate the technological aspects of research strategies in an organized way, and to maintain continuity in support of CMN research.

The focal point of NSF is to support CMN researchers and scientists utilizing basic genetic and more advanced –omics and imaging technologies and expertise to optimally follow the strategic plan of CMN.
