Introduction to the MIT BioMicro Center

The BioMicro Center was founded in 2000 as the core bio-fabrication and microarray processing factility at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Center is a joint endeavor of the Center for Environmental Health Sciences, the Department of Biology, the Center for Cancer Research, and Biological Engineering Division. The Center aims to provide an integrated facility for biofabrication, DNA microarray processing, protein microarraying, real time PCR, and RNA validation.

The operations of the BioMicro Center are directed by Dr. Rebecca Fry. The BioMicro team is comprised of three members.The team focuses on microarrays, microarray fabrication and technology advancement. The BioMicro Center maintains a strong commitment to new technology development and deployment. A focus on new technology also helps to ensure that the BioMicro Center remains at the cutting edge of high throughput analytical methods.
