The multi-user core research laboratories and facilities and research support services at Jackson State University (JSU) were established to provide researchers with the necessary resources including equipment, technologies, and support functions to enhance research capabilities.


The Center houses the following six laboratories: 1) Analytical Core Laboratory, 2) Animal Core Facility, 3) Biostatistical Support Unit, 4) Environmental Toxicology Research Laboratory, 5) Molecular and Cellular Biology Core Laboratory, and 6) Molecular Magnetic Resonance Core Laboratory. The Computational Modelling Core Laboratory/Supercomputer Center, Cellomics and Toxicogenomics Research Laboratory; The Visualization Core Laboratory, and GIS Remote Core Laboratories are supported by other grants.
