The Australian Cancer Research Fund (ACRF) Facility for the Molecular Genetics of Cancer houses the most up to date equipment for the detection of sequence variations, expression & methylation analysis and large scale genotyping analysis. It is used by researchers from Garvan and external clients throughout NSW. The facility offers a low cost, high quality sequencing service and has recently commenced a high throughput mouse genotyping service. Click here to read more.

The Clinical Research Facility runs Garvan clinical projects that look at the effect of hormones (e.g. growth hormone, sex steroid hormones, insulin) on different metabolic systems. Staff also monitor volunteers involved in pharmaceutical clinical trials, such as those
for osteoporosis medications.

The MLC Community Foundation Flow Cytometry Facility comprises high speed cell sorters to allow the separation of up to four populations of cell types from any body fluid or tissue suspension. The pure population of cells, separated on the basis of multiple phenotypic and functional characteristics, can then be grown as pure cultures, used to extract RNA or DNA for genetic analyses, or implanted into animal models, for functional assays and therapeutics.
