Shared Resources

The UWCCC takes pride in supporting a wide array of shared resources that provide access to cost-effective state-of-the-art research infrastructure and world class expertise, enabling research along the entire basic to community/population research continuum. Aligned to support multidisciplinary research and unite physicians and scientists to speed the transfer of science to patients, our shared resources cover a broad expanse of research service categories as shown in the UWCCC Shared Resources clickable image to the right/below. Click on a category in the image to explore resources in that area of study, or see our UWCCC Shared Resources – Alphabetical List.
