ICGEB High Throughput Screening facility

Technical Assistance & Facilities

General-use equipment and specialised services are available to ICGEB research groups and Member States.

Scientists from Member States can access our laboratories and equipment and the support of our highly qualified international staff to conduct specific experiments or to work for short periods with our facilities. They can benefit from on-the-job specialised training, gain practical experience of the procedures, protocols, and processes used at ICGEB, and collaborate to develop and adapt these to specific requirements.

Also unique amongst international Organisations, ICGEB offers a manuscript editorial service
