One of the invaluable hallmarks of The Scripps Research Institute is providing researchers and trainees with cutting-edge technology and outstanding scientific services. The extensive offering of scientific centers/cores provides research groups with access not only to the latest instrumentation, but also to knowledgeable, experienced staff with expertise in designing and conducting experiments and analyzing data. In many cases, core personnel can provide training to researchers and open access to available resources. Some of these resources are available not only to Scripps Research scientists, but also to researchers at other institutions (see each center/core link for details on external availability and pricing).
