Equipment| BRC Collaborators (go to list >>) |
| As a national research center of the NIH:NCRR, one component of the BRC's activity is to host visiting investigators and students from the US and around the world. We make available to these researchers the Center's unique technology as well as several related techniques listed in Technology and Equipment. Visitors to the BRC are accorded all the rights of an MBL Whitman Investigator. Annually we host numerous visitors, the majority being funded through the NIH Institutes. |
 |
| The table below focuses on current and past BRC collaborators since 2000. Some projects have more detailed pages- click on arrows to the right. |
