UTSW Microarray & Immune Phenotyping Core Facility

Overview of Services

The UT Southwestern Microarray and Immune Phenotyping Core (IPC) facility was established in 2001 and has been providing

cutting-edge Microarray and high-throughput biomarker profiling services to hundreds of investigators working on basic and

clinical research projects. Microarray  IPC core offers a wide variety of services covering genomics and proteomics. We provide

centralized access to multiplex biomarker discovery technologies to on-campus as well as off-campus investigators. We offer a

broad range of products and services for genomic and proteomic biomarkers as listed below. Our team of expert technicians,

bioinformaticians, and scientists, who have decades of experience in the field of genomics and proteomics, provides extensive 

technical and scientific support from experiment design to data analysis. Our mission is to provide our investigators with the

best biomarker profiling services to boost scientific discoveries.
