Additional Technologies

The Immunology Department’s Flow Cytometry core facility provides cutting edge instruments and expert advice for flow cytometry to all researchers across HMS and beyond. With three sorters, four analyzers, and availability at late hours, we can offer our services for a wide variety of cytometry applications. Capabilities include a Cytek Aurora spectral analyzer (up to 40 parameters), or high speed 6 way cell sorting on the 6-laser MoFlo Astrios.

The Research Computing (RC) Core is a set of billable services provided by Research Computing and HMS IT. The goal of the RC Core is to promote deeper collaboration across the greater Harvard biomedical research ecosystem. This includes improved capabilities and performance by establishing more transparent and sustainable IT services for our research community.

Research Computing will be providing the following billable services via the RC Core:

• High Performance Computing:
  • The O2 Cluster, which accommodates diverse requirements and workflows for HMS-affiliated researchers.
• Storage Options:
  • Active – intended for storing research data that is frequently accessed, modified, or computed against which includes Compute and Collaborations storage solutions.
  • Standby - is leveraged for infrequently accessed data that is still directly available for reference, retrieval, or analysis.

The Research Instrumentation Core Facility enables the development of new scientific instruments in order to further research at Harvard Medical School and affiliated institutions. The facility provides consultations on the design of hardware or software, purchasing decisions, and assistance with implementation.  The staff will work with researchers to develop and fabricate customized electronic, optical, and mechanical devices, as well as software interfaces for these devices. Furthermore, the facility provides tools and workshop space for authorized researchers to design and prototype their own instruments.  The facility is staffed by a full-time Neurobiology device engineer and a staff engineer.
