We host many core facilities, ranging from facilities for fundamental research to certified clinical research environments and from molecular imaging techniques. These facilities are at the disposal of UMCG researchers but can also be made available to our collaborators and partners.
PARTREC is a dedicated research facility functioning in synergy with the UMCG Groningen Proton Therapy Center (GPTC). We uniquely combine technological development, preclinical studies, and patient studies with a Research and Development (R&D) programme to continuously improve proton therapy technology and treatment, while assessing the feasibility of other particles for high-precision radiotherapy. Learn more about Partrec.
We provide high-quality measurements and analyses of brain structure and activity using a range of cutting-edge technologies. Founded in 2002, the CNC is a research facility where people from the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), the University of Groningen (UG), and external users collaborate. A variety of disciplines are combined, including medicine, psychology, linguistics, biology, and artificial intelligence. Learn more about CNC.
UMIC offers training in and access to advanced microscopes and image processing to external users and researchers from the University Medical Center Groningen and the University of Groningen. Learn more about UMIC.
Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) is one of the most well studied animals to answer biological research questions in various fields, including ecology, evolution, behaviour, genetics, biomedical research, development and more. Learn more about Drosophila fly lab.
The Section of Anatomy & Physiology manages a state-of-the art dissection room facility for those interested in organizing demonstrations, teaching courses or training programmes. Learn more about Section Anatomy and Medical Physiology.
Our Cesium-137 γ-ray machine can be used by researchers in need of a source of radiation. Learn more about Section Molecular Cell Biology.
The Medical Physiology Lab is used to teach the basic concepts of physiology to 700-1000 students per year of medicine, human movement sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, biomedical sciences and the University College Groningen. Via experiential learning, these students master the concepts in respiratory physiology, cardiovascular physiology, exercise physiology and neurophysiology. Learn more about Section Anatomy and Medical Physiology.
Our nanotomy facility provides anatomy of tissues on a nanoscale.
