Research Core Services

The Research Core Services provide investigators at Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute (LRI) with access to technology and instrumentation that is too costly, complex, or otherwise inaccessible to individual laboratories. The Cores rely on feedback and direction from the Faculty and are committed to enhancing the research performed by all LRI scientists and clinician-scientists of Cleveland Clinic as a whole.
