Discovery Centers

An Open Innovation Initiative

Purpose

Two laboratory spaces located in the Center for BioHealth, CBH-201, and the Research and Education building, RES-208, are available to:

provide shared laboratory space for young researchers and clinical faculty members
make available supplemental instrumentation for researchers who don’t otherwise have access to critical capabilities
offer laboratory access to entrepreneurs and start-up companies enrolled in the UNT Health Science Center’s Acceleration Lab Program.

A listing of the larger pieces of equipment present in each Center can be found in the table below. Details of the capabilities of some of these pieces can be found using the appropriate link in the navigation pane on the left of the page. However for more information or to discuss the specific capabilities of each lab as they might apply to your research needs, please feel free to contact the Discovery Center Manager who will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
