A partnership between the University of Calgary and Alberta Health Services
Over the past several years, the Snyder Institute has invested heavily in a variety of core infrastructure. This core infrastructure features initiatives that enable both basic and clinical research at the Snyder Institute and is key to our success and scientific excellence.
Our goals are to:
The Human Organoid Innovation Hub (HOIH) is a Snyder Institute core facility with a vision of advancing cutting-edge research utilizing organoid systems. Our mission is to leverage patient tissue and induced pluripotent stem cell technology to drive precision medicine.
The International Microbiome Centre at the University of Calgary is a translational research centre, designed to investigate the microbiome of humans, plants, animals and the physical environment. Together, world class microbiome researchers, advanced technologies and relationship building will spark groundbreaking discoveries that harness the healing power of the microbiome.
The vision of the Live Cell Imaging Facility (LCI) at UCalgary's Snyder Institute is to drive innovative research using cutting edge optical imaging technology. We provide intensive training and education, advice and intellectual input for research relying on optical imaging and image analysis. We also develop new applications and test new technologies for the benefit of our research community. The level of support is tailored to the individual researcher and can range from access to microscopes to full research collaborations.
The mission of the Snyder Institute Mouse Phenomics Resource Laboratory is to assist researchers in the Snyder Institute and related faculties and to foster collaborations to promote high quality, world class research. We achieve this by providing support for in-vivo models of interest and by generating additional novel data through the development of new in-vivo screens and murine models in the field of acute and chronic inflammation and related chronic diseases.
The Nicole Perkins Microbial Communities Core Labs at UCalgary's Snyder Institute is dedicated to characterizing host pathogens' interaction and the role of the microbial communities in health and disease using state-of-the technologies to identify new targets for research.The goal is to enhance the ability to deliver translational research and foster bench-to-bedside research collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians.
TAMARATT at UCalgary's Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases is Calgary’s largest respiratory research centre. Their mission is to advance scientific and clinical knowledge in respiratory medicine. They accomplish this through excellence in clinical research and provide detailed clinical assessments and cutting edge therapies.
