Efficient and faster, better, more thoughtfully-designed experiments are made possible by the unique relationship between Stowers Investigators and the teams who operate our Technology Centers.
Our Technology Centers are committed to the development, implementation, and optimization of cutting-edge methodologies and instrumentation that have catapulted the Stowers Institute to the forefront of innovative science. These teams offer Stowers scientists an abundance of tools, expertise, services, and collaborative partnerships that complement and augment the capabilities of individual research labs. Each Technology Center team is led by experts in their fields, while the overall direction of scientific support and technology development at the Stowers Institute is led by a group of Technology Center Directors.
The Automation and PCR Technology group provides equipment, expertise, and collaborative services to Stowers Institute researchers regarding the automation of scientific experiments, including a particular focus on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques in which small samples of DNA are amplified to larger amounts for research studies.
The Genome Engineering team assists Stowers Institute researchers in the precise and specific alteration of genetic material of research organisms and cultured cells.
The Sequencing and Discovery Genomics team provides technical and collaborative support to Stowers Institute scientists who need to perform nucleic acid sequencing in the course of their research, including traditional and next-generation techniques.
The overall direction of scientific support and technology development at the Stowers Institute is guided by highly-skilled and knowledgeable scientific leaders. By effectively aligning researchers and resources, the Technology Center Directors enable Stowers Investigators and their labs to find creative solutions for traditional challenges, accelerating and enhancing their research in a richly supportive environment.
There is only one singular focus – to make the Principal Investigators as successful as possible.
Our diverse labs are united in their commitment to fostering an innovative and collaborative environment in the pursuit of foundational biomedical knowledge.
