This state-of-the-art system aims to revolutionize USC's next-generation sequencing (NGS) operations by improving the efficiency and throughput of their NGS library preparation...
- The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded Thomas Jefferson University a $494,430 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs federal grant program (CFDA 93.351) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023. The grant funds will support the acquisition of an automated liquid handling platform to increase the sequencing capacity and efficiency of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center's fee-for-service Metaomics Shared Resource Core Facility. The new...
- The University of Colorado Functional Genomics Shared Resource (FGSR) received a $358,574 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to purchase a Sartorius CellCelector Flex system. This advanced cell imaging and handling technology will empower cell line development, rare cell detection, and analysis capabilities for 8 major and minor investigators conducting NIH-funded research across diverse areas such as oncology,...
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) awarded a $377,400 Project Grant to Wayne State University on Aug 1, 2025 under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351). The grant will fund the purchase of a Canopy Biosciences CellScape instrument, which will provide the university's Microscopy, Imaging, and Cytometry Resources (MICR) core facility with critical new capabilities in highly multiplexed spatial biology analysis. This new...
- This $319,753 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) to the New York Genome Center (NYGC) aims to establish an open-source ecosystem to repurpose decommissioned DNA sequencing instruments as flexible automation platforms for biological research. The primary goal is to unlock the full potential of these powerful but often unused sequencers by transforming them into cost-effective automation systems, especially for emerging...
- This $639,794 federal grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports the acquisition of an Illumina NextSeq 2000 next-generation DNA sequencing instrument for the Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Process (DAMP) Laboratory at Boston University. The new sequencing instrument will enable DAMP Lab researchers to study the genomic sequences of novel molecular tools they are developing, which can lead to improvements in drug design,...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under CFDA Program 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training, awarded a $148,880 Project Grant to Duke University to develop an ultra-high-throughput platform called Phage- and Robotics-Assisted Near Continuous Selection (PRANCS). The goal is to systematically characterize the natural specificity and impact of mutations on reader domain interactions with acetyl-modified histone subunits. The project aims to build improved...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) awarded a $273,390 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to Duke University to acquire a Firefly automated liquid handling robot. This instrument will enable the university's Sequencing and Genomics Technologies (SGT) Core Facility to streamline and scale its high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation workflows. The SGT Core currently relies on outdated manual and large-volume automation methods that limit its ability to meet growing demand from hundreds of internal and external NIH-funded investigators. The new Firefly robot will allow the SGT to adopt miniaturized reagent volumes and fully automated NGS library production, reducing costs and increasing sample throughput to support the diverse biomedical research projects conducted across Duke and its collaborating institutions.
