Welcome to the University of Connecticut Biotechnology-Bioservices Center (BBC). The Center was established by the State as a Center of Excellence in 1986, and in 2003 was reorganized as a multidisciplinary center with a mission to facilitate research productivity in the biological sciences and related disciplines. This is accomplished by providing specialized services and expertise through a number of core facilities that provide equipment and technology otherwise prohibitively expensive for individual research laboratories. The dedicated specialized core facilities are operated by facility scientists who provide consultation and access to state-of-the-art equipment, reagents, and technologies, with oversight provided by Facility Heads. I invite you to take a moment to acquaint yourself with the facilities listed to the left that you may be interested in and the services that they provide to assist you in your research. Individual contact information may be found by clicking on the "People" tab in the upper right-hand corner.
