Research InfrastructureCellnetworks Core Technology Platform (CCTP)

The CellNetworks Core Technology Platform (CCTP) serves as an umbrella organization for Core Facilities. The name is derived from the former Cluster of Excellence CellNetworks, which played a significant role in developing the Core Facility infrastructure of the Heidelberg Life Sciences Campus.

CCTP-associated Core Facilities must fulfill certain requirements, such as easy access for members of all university and extra-university members of the Field of Focus 1 as well as transparent terms of use.

CCTP-ASSOCIATED CORE FACILITIES

Decorative Teaser Image: A collage of instruments used at ABSF, the images blend into each other
Core Facility

Advanced Biological Screening Facility (ABSF)

Decorative Teaser Image: purple spirals surround a see-through orange oval bubble which contains a protein structure formed of different sized and different colored balls that are connected with lines. All of this is placed in front of a blurry turquoise background.
Core Facility

Core Facility for Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics (CFMP)

Decorative Teaser Image: A dna-structure made up of white dust-like little balls (almost looking like frost) is placed in a dark blue, blurry background, one more DNA-structure is seen behind it, also blurred out, but still clear enough to make out the distinct dna shape
Core Facility

Deep Sequencing Core Facility

decorative teaser image: this grey-colored image shows mitochondria. The dark grey mitochondria are surrounded by light grey blurry „soup“ with a few almost white bubbles of different shapes in it.
Core Facility

Electron Microscopy Core Facility (EMCF)

Decorative Teaser Image: the image shows a graph with x and y axis. in the first horizontal third stretching over 2 vertical thirds of the graph is a collection of dots. The dots are segmented into 4 different colors: on the left lower end of the almost oval-shaped dot-bubble, the dots are blue, on the middle right, they are orange, on the middle left pink and the top third is light green.
Core Facility

Flow Cytometry & FACS Core Facility (FFCF)

Decorative Teaser Image: the photograph shows a white mouse with red eyes which seems to be in the movement of climbing out of a lab coat pocket. The lab coat is white, on the pocket is a blue text Logo spelling „SYGNIS“ with a light green little ball next to the text on the upper right.
Core Facility

Interdisciplinary Neurobehavioral Core (INBC)

Decorative Teaser Image: the image shows a graph with x and y axis. on a horizontal scale from 0 to 450 several spots are highlighted, with little text boxes naming them (e.g. Narcotine 413.1478). Additionally, each box is paired with a chemical structure image of the substance it names.
Core Facility

Metabolomics Core Technology Platform (MCTP)

Decorative Teaser Image: in front of a black background more than a dozen colorful structures, shaped like pearls on a horizontal string with a dna-shaped „tail“ are scattered all over the place.
Core Facility

nCounter Core Facility

Decorative Teaser Image: In front of a black background a mitotic spindle, colored in bright yellow and light turquoise is placed in the middle of the image. spiderweb-like structures in light turquoise make up the right half of the image.
Core Facility

Nikon Imaging Center (NIC)

Decorative Teaser Image: a shiny perfectly round bubble is glowing in rainbow colors. Inside of it, crystal structures shaped as rectangles or haxagons are placed right in the middle.
Core Facility

Protein Crystallization Platform

ADDITIONAL OPEN CORE FACILITIES, TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS & LARGE EQUIPMENT

Core Facility

Biomechanics Core Facility

The Biomechanics Core Facility provides standardized and reproducible mechanical characterization of soft (bio) materials, as well as specific sample preparation methods required for the characterization.

PARTNER INSTITUTIONS

Core Facility Platform Mannheim Campus

The Core Facility Platform Mannheim, CFPM, consists of seven Core Facilities covering diverse areas and creating a Core Facility Pipeline, which operates research requests from basic analysis to imaging, microscopy, cell sorting and up to data analysis.

Technology Network

HDcryoNet

The Heidelberg University cryo-electron-mikroscopy-network (HDcryoNet) hosts cryo-EM infrastructure located at the BioQuant and at the Biochemistry Center.

Core Facility

Infectious Diseases Imaging Platform (IDIP)

The Infectious Diseases Imaging Platform (IDIP) provides, develops and applies high-end microscopy infrastructure under conditions of enhanced biosafety containment 2 and 3 (BSL-2 and 3) to enable infectious diseases research.

Core Facility

IZN FACS Facility

The facility at the IZN-Neurobiology Department provides access to flow cytometry-based applications and a unique service on the campus for the sorting of rare neural cell populations and subcellular components.

Core Facility

Heidelberg Lipidomics

Heidelberg Lipidomics offers qualitative and quantitative lipidomics analyses.

Core Facility

Scientific Facility for Microfabrication and Microfluidics

Microfluidics is an emerging field and is finding use in various disciplines. At the Scientific Facility for Microfabrication and Microfluidics we aim to provide this valuable tool to every interested research group in and around the Neuenheimer Feld.

Technology Network

MINFLUX Nanoscope

The newly installed MINFLUX nanoscope offers super-resolution microscopy with a resolution up to 2 nm in 3D.

Partner Institution

Scientific Software Center

The SSC aims to aid researchers in all aspects related to software development, including resources such as guidelines, project templates and development projects. The SSC aims to ensure reproducible science and software sustainability across disciplines.
