Core Facilities

  1. Center for Environmental Science & Technology (CEST) student

    Center for Environmental Science & Technology

    CEST is a cooperative effort between Notre Dame’s Colleges of Science and Engineering, fostering interdisciplinary environmental research and education by providing cutting-edge analytical technologies needed to address complex environmental problems.

  2. Center for Research Computing

    Center for Research Computing

    The CRC is a leader in cyberinfrastructure development and in research utilizing large amounts of data and computational power, providing supercomputer resources, services, and expertise to researchers within Notre Dame and external organizations.

  3. Freimann Life Sciences

    Freimann Life Science Center

    The Freimann Life Science Center (FLSC) is comprised of two state-of-the-art animal facilities equipped to house a wide variety of vertebrates, including: fish, with a large zebrafish population, frogs, rabbits and rodents.

  4. Genomic Core Facility

    Genomics and Bioinformatics Core Facility

    The Notre Dame Genomics Core Facility opened in 2008 to provide high-quality equipment and support for genomics experimentation.

  5. Imaging equipment in Harper Cancer center

    Integrated Imaging Facility

    NDIIF is a sophisticated research core facility that houses and integrates three areas of Notre Dame imaging expertise: electron microscopy, biological imaging (in vivo imaging and optical microscopy), and histology.

  6. Magnetic Resonance Research Center

    Magnetic Resonance Research Center

    The Magnetic Resonance Research Center (MRRC) supports Notre Dame researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical engineering, and related fields by providing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analytical support.

  7. Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics

    Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics

    The MSP provides modern instrumentation and expertise for the analyses of compounds ranging from small organic molecules to large biomolecules with applications in the areas of metabolomics, proteomics, and lipidomics.

  8. Molecular Structure Facility

    Molecular Structure Facility

    The MSF at Notre Dame houses three single crystal, two high-magnification microscopes and one powder diffractometer. This allows researchers rapid and timely access to a fundamental analysis of new compounds synthesized in their laboratories.

  9. A taxidermied bird, part of a large collection of birds and animals donated to Notre Dame’s Museum of Biodiversity, is moved into a case in Jordan Hall of Science where it will await permanent display.

    Museum of Biodiversity

    The Museum of Biodiversity showcases the Department of Biological Sciences’ extensive collections of amphibians, fish, birds, mammals, insects, parasites, and fossils that have been collected over the last 150 years.

  10. The Notre Dame Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility, or ND-LEEF at St. Patrick’s County Park in South Bend.

    ND Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility

    Based in South Bend’s St. Patrick’s County Park, ND-LEEF is a one-of-a-kind research site due to its two replicated watersheds that each contain a linked stream, pond, and wetland that can be manipulated to test ecological hypotheses.
