A centerpiece of the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Neurosciences Building, the Innovation Core provides two main functions: access to state-of-the-art and high demand equipment, and creation of new tools to drive future neuroscience research. It also provides a crucial venue for educational sessions and fosters a collaborative research environment, bringing together investigators – across disciplines – at UCSF and beyond.
The Innovation Core is comprised of the following core components:
