ANALYTICAL, TRANSLATIONAL & IMAGING RESOURCES FOR NORTHWESTERN INVESTIGATORS
CLP manages six shared research facilities. These facilities represent a $25 million investment in high‐end instrumentation and expertise and provide 50 new services that enable investigators to identify, design and refine potential new therapeutics and diagnostics and to visualize their activity in living cells and tissues. The cores’ PhD level personnel develop powerful new tools and methods to support new basic and translational research at Northwestern and across the Midwest.
Platforms for Biomedical Discovery
BIF provides a wide range of photonic and electron microscopy along with all the equipment necessary for users to prepare samples and image analysis all in one facility so that users can acquire data quickly and efficiently.
CAMI offers state-of-the-art in vivo imaging modalities that enable basic science researchers and clinicians to develop new tools to image disease states of cells and small animals and their responses to treatment.
DTC provides a full suite of fee-for-service tumor biology and translational support services that advance preclinical stage projects.
HTA affordably performs massively parallel experiments using state-of-the-art instruments and robotics.
The Proteomics Core offers routine services that include simple protein identification, top-down MS, IP-MS pulldown, and BioID as well as specialized services.
QBIC is the leading facility for quantitative elemental mapping in the Midwest. QBIC provides researchers with access to high-resolution microscopy and high-sensitivity metals analysis instruments, capable of quantitatively imaging metals in individual cells and tissues.

Students, staff, and investigators have fun and learn about research tools at the 2022 CLP Core Crawl
As merengue music echoed from the ice cream truck parked underneath the bridge connecting the east and west sides of Silverman Hall, visitors streamed into the twelfth annual CLP Core Crawl. Hot pizza, beer and frozen treats awaited nearly 200 Northwestern students, staff and investigators who came to learn more about CLP’s core facilities for biomedical discovery.
clp cORE eXPO CONNECTS FEINBERG CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS TO clp INSTRUMENTATION AND SERVICES
Each year, CLP hosts a Core Expo in the Lurie Medical Research Building on the University’s downtown campus.CLP instrumentation and services. Representatives from CLP core facilities are on hand to provide expert consultation on CLP analytical, translational and imaging resources for Northwestern investigators.
