The technology hubs housed in the Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine are central to our core mission, to accelerate the discovery and application of microbiome-based innovations to revolutionize disease treatment and patient care for children and adults.
Microbiome center-supported facillities offer technologies, expertise and pipelines to streamline data generation and pre-clinical testing. Our facilities operate as inbucators and plug-ins in the larger UCSF CoLab network. Learn about UCSF CoLabs.
Gnotobiotic Mouse Research Facility (CoLab Incubator)
