Core Research Centers

The Baylor Sciences and Facilities Department supports numerous, shared core facilities and centers that enable multidisciplinary research across campus, including:

Center for Microscopy and Imaging

Was established to meet the growing demand for visualizing dynamic ultrastructural changes in biological samples. The center is dedicated to teaching researchers and students to independently explore the smaller details of our world.

Center for NMR Spectroscopy

Offers multiple NMR technologies to serve organic and inorganic synthetic groups, biology groups, and biochemistry groups for component analysis, structure elucidation or validation.

Mass Spectrometry Center

Provides experimental capabilities to support a broad range of mass spectrometry research, develop technologies, and train students and faculty in the field of mass spectrometry using routine and specialized techniques.

Materials Testing & Characterization Core (MTACC)

Provides equipment, computing resources, and expertise for analysis of a wide range of conventional and advanced materials for imaging, testing, manufacturing, and sample preparation and measurement.

Micro and Nanofabrication Cleanroom

Provides a shared research facility open to all Colleges and Departments on the Baylor campus for various fabrication approaches including optical and e-beam lithography.

Molecular Biosciences Center

Is a shared facility, intended to nurture, promote, and facilitate biomolecular research through scientific training, consultation, project collaborations, and University service.

Stable Isotope Laboratory

The Baylor University Stable Isotope Laboratory, located in Baylor Science Building B408, is a research facility in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
