Our researchers have access to state-of-the-art facilities containing the most advanced technology, from two-photon confocal and electron microscopy to proteomics and gene array equipment. These are contained both within individual labs and in shared facilities.

Academic resources include the Welch Medical Library, which also provides online access to hundreds of medical and scientific journals and training courses. But our greatest strength is the combined expertise of our extensive basic science and clinical faculty. Hopkins faculty can provide biostatistics expertise, access to clinical samples, numerous experimental models for neurological disorders and injury, and use of behavioral-testing equipment, to name but a few opportunities.

NINDS Institutional Center Core Grant to Support Neuroscience Research

This center is comprised of the 3 core facilities listed below.  The experimental opportunities offered by these Cores complement and do not duplicate existing Core facilities available to NINDS-funded investigators here at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
