The Scientific Support Services provide investigators 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 Lerner Research Institute scientists and clinician-scientists of Cleveland Clinic as a whole.

The mission of Scientific Support Services is to provide high quality services,
expertise, education and resources in support of research
