Meet the Research Facilities Team
The Research Facilities Department supports our institution’s scientific community by enabling safe, efficient, and advanced research. Reporting to the COO, it is organized into four key areas.
Space and Construction Projects: Plans and allocates research spaces to meet evolving scientific needs.
Biosafety: Ensures compliance with biosafety regulations to protect staff and research integrity.
Research Core Facilities: Provides shared platforms and expert support in specialized scientific areas.
Together, these teams provide the infrastructure, services, and oversight that allow researchers to focus on innovation and discovery.
