The Facility is a multi-user resource providing advanced light microscopy services and transmission electron microscopy services in addition to laser microdissection and micro injection systems and image processing workstations and tools.

The nanoFAB is a centralized open-access facility specializing in micro- and nanoscale fabrication and characterization, with over $84 million invested in equipment and infrastructure. Spanning 25,000 sq ft, it houses over 200 pieces of equipment and offers comprehensive capabilities in microscopy, spectroscopy, material analysis, lithography, thin-film deposition, and etching. The facility supports the fabrication of MEMS, sensors, microfluidics, and photonics, with advanced processing capabilities for 4″ (100 mm) and 6″ (150 mm) wafers.

The laboratory provided analytical (e.g., calorimetry, oxygen), chromatographic (e.g., gas and HPLC), and spectroscopic (e.g., polarimetry, fluorescence) analysis to researcher at University of Alberta and external researchers.

This unit has a Phase 1 unit that is among the few Phase 1 units in Canada located within a major tertiary care facility: in this case, the University Hospital. The 3,300-square-foot, eight-bed ward is designed to assess drug safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability in a controlled environment. You can conduct Phase 1–4 studies on your own or use our staff with their full range of clinical investigations experience.

Since its inception, the centre has undertaken over 60 clinical trials in cardiovascular disease. The CVC is an Academic Research Organization (ARO) and an established centre of the University of Alberta within the Department of Medicine. The CVC garners support through research grants and contracts with industry and external peer-reviewed agencies. Onsite equipment includes an ECG Lab and a Food Core Lab.

The facility is equipped with biomechanical devices that can apply static and dynamic loads in compression, tension, torsion and bending. Testing can be accommodated across multiple dimensional scales from the cellular level to full organs. The facility also includes dissection tables, surgical suites, tissue preparation rooms, a FaroArm and freezer space.

The Centre for Mobility and Joint Health, in the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, features state-of-the-art imaging, movement assessment and diagnostic equipment that can be used for clinical trials, clinical assessments or research studies.Imaging equipment in the MoJo is available for use by researchers, clinicians and community imaging partner. including X-ray, MRI, ultransound, CT scans, absorpitiometry, and tomography of various technical specifications

The CTEP Lab offers a broad spectrum of physical activity and exercise physiology outcome measurements. We can cater our services to clinical and non-clinical populations as well as athletes across the age spectrum. We can also administer functional tests and measurements often completed in clinical settings, including cardiometabolic/respiratory, gait, body composition, and autonomic function testing).

As Calgary’s largest respiratory research centre we advance scientific and clinical knowledge in respiratory medicine through excellence in clinical research. We provide detailed clinical assessments and cutting edge therapies and services like, spirometry, inhaled allergen challenge, bronchoscopy, lung volumes, and respiratory muscle strength assessment.

The Heritage Medical Research Clinic provides University of Calgary researchers with a wide range of services and state of the art facilities designed to support clinical research, including 8 rooms for patient examination, with 1 dedicated pediatric room and 1 dedicated disability room, in addition to ICU facilities and nursing services to laboratory equipment and an on-site Alberta Health Services research pharmacy. The clinic offers specimen collection, phlebotomy, lab services, as well as ECG machines, infusion pumps, oxygen and suction apparatus, and more.
