Integrated Core Facilites & Services
PrecisionGo brings together a coordinated ecosystem of core facilities and specialist services that support integrated precision medicine research and translation. Rather than operating as standalone services, facilities are organised below by their role within a research and translational pathway. Capabilities can be combined across domains to support coherent, multi-modal workflows, coordinated access, and shared governance.
This page is intended to help researchers, clinicians, and collaborators understand what is available and assess feasibility, without needing to navigate multiple systems or make parallel enquiries.
Accessing facilities through PrecisionGo
Core Facilities and services are accessed through coordinated planning rather than independent requests. PrecisionGo supports users in navigating capabilities across domains, aligning experimental design, analysis, and governance from the outset, and reducing fragmentation across studies.
For your convenience, our Core Facilities and Services have been arranged to help you navigate what’s useful to you across the research lifecycle:
Molecular, cellular and tissue profiling (Genomics, Flow Cytometry, Histology)
Imaging and spatial characterisation (Imaging, Preclinical Imaging, Electron Microscopy)
Data integration and analysis (Bioinformatics)
Samples, models, and stewardship (Biobank, Bioresources)
Molecular, cellular, and tissue profiling
Where biological features are measured
Flow Cytometry
Cytometry supports high-dimensional cellular analysis to characterise immune and cellular populations in health and disease. Services are designed to integrate with genomics and bioinformatics pipelines, enabling multi-modal interpretation.
Services include:
Flow cytometry and cell sorting
Immune phenotyping and functional assays
Experimental design and panel optimisation
Data acquisition and quality control
Integration with downstream analysis
Supports: Studies requiring detailed cellular characterisation and phenotyping.
Genomics
Genomics provides comprehensive molecular profiling to support discovery, characterisation, and validation studies. Services span experimental design through to data generation, with close alignment to bioinformatics and translational pipelines.
Services include:
DNA and RNA sequencing
Single-cell and bulk sequencing approaches
Library preparation and quality control
Targeted and whole-genome analyses
Support for translational and clinical genomics
Supports: Studies exploring genetic and transcriptomic drivers of disease.
Histology
Histology provides tissue processing and staining services that preserve morphological and spatial context. These services form a critical bridge between molecular data and tissue-level interpretation, particularly for translational and pathology-informed studies.
Services include:
Tissue processing and sectioning
Histological staining and immunohistochemistry
Sample preparation for spatial analysis
Quality assessment and interpretation support
Integration with imaging and molecular pipelines
Supports: Studies requiring tissue context and structure alongside molecular profiling.

Services include:
In vivo imaging of experimental models
Functional and longitudinal imaging studies
Experimental design and protocol support
Data acquisition and analysis
Integration with downstream translational workflows
Supports: Studies linking biological mechanisms to functional outcomes.
Imaging

Image acquisition and processing
Experimental design support
Integration with molecular and spatial data
Data visualisation and interpretation
Supports: Studies requiring spatial or structural insight at cellular and tissue levels.
Electron Microscopy
Electron microscopy provides ultra-high-resolution imaging to examine cellular and subcellular structures. These services complement molecular and histological approaches by offering detailed structural insight.
Services include:
Sample preparation for electron microscopy
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy
High-resolution structural imaging
Data interpretation support
Integration with multi-modal studies
Supports: Studies requiring detailed ultrastructural characterisation.
Data integration and analysis
Where data becomes insight
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics provides analytical expertise to integrate, interpret, and explore data generated across PrecisionGo pipelines. Services focus on enabling insight, reproducibility, and reuse, rather than one-off analyses.
Services include:
Multi-omic data integration and analysis
Reusable and modular analysis workflows
Custom analytical support for specific study contexts
Data interpretation and visualisation
Support for translational and clinical analysis
Supports: Studies generating complex datasets requiring integrated interpretation.
Samples, models, and stewardship
Where biological material is sourced, prepared, and governed
Bioresources
Bioresources provides access to biological models and materials that support experimental and translational research. Services are designed to integrate with downstream molecular, cellular, and imaging pipelines, enabling studies that move efficiently from model systems toward clinical relevance.
Services include:
Provision of biological models and resources
Colony and resource management
Experimental design support
Integration with downstream analytical workflows
Governance and compliance support
Supports: Discovery and validation studies requiring controlled biological systems.

Biobank
The PrecisionGo Biobank supports the collection, processing, storage, and governance of high-quality biological samples for research and translational use. It places strong emphasis on consent, traceability, and ethical stewardship, ensuring samples remain fit for purpose across discovery, validation, and clinical studies.
Services include:
Sample collection, processing, and storage
Consent management and ethical governance
Sample tracking, quality control, and traceability
Access management and reuse of existing collections
Support for translational and clinical research workflows
Supports: Studies requiring high-quality, well-governed human samples across the research lifecycle.
