Dear [Subscriber name],

 

As the year draws to a close, the Biomedical Research Core Facilities continue to grow with new locations and state-of-the-art laboratory upgrades. To celebrate, join us at the North Campus Research Complex for an open house at the core facilities at the NCRC on December 6.

The University Season Days are also approaching. As in past years, many of the staff in the BRCF will be using their season days between December 25 and January 1. The schedule for the individual core facilities is given below.
