Core Facilities

Find core facilities and resources at Harvard schools and affiliated healthcare centers with this searchable database.

Welcome to the Harvard Catalyst Core Facilities Database

Core scientific facilities support innovative research at Harvard by providing highly specialized services, equipment and staff that would otherwise be too expensive for a single laboratory or department to provide. The Harvard Catalyst is committed to increasing awareness of core facilities to help expedite research.

To that end, Harvard Catalyst has created this searchable database of core facilities. The cores are indexed by institution and by service category; the catalog is also searchable by keyword. The database will grow as more cores are established and additional services are identified.

Core facilities are owned, supported and managed by the institutions that comprise Harvard Catalyst. While most cores are publicly available, some are required by their sponsors to limit access and to differentiate pricing. Policies regarding services, access, fees and prioritization vary by core and by institution. Please contact the core facility directly for more information, by using the link on each core facility page of this website.

To begin, click “Categories” or “Institutions” at left, or enter a keyword to search the contents of the database.
