Center faculty collaborate closely with Bioinformatics and Computational experts in genomics, machine learning/AI, and statistical physics. The Center also houses one of the leading national hubs in quantitative light microscopy development. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center offers over 40 core facilities in cryo-electron microscopy, metabolomics, crystallographic structure determination, high-throughput small molecule screening, high resolution microscopy, and next-generation sequencing.
