Shared Resources
Kent Lloyd, associate director for Shared Resources, invites you to take advantage of the many services offered to the scientific community by the Shared Resources at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Meeting the needs of the scientific community
The UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center Shared Resources provides the UC Davis research community with centralized access to specialized scientific expertise, consultation and assistance, infrastructure and equipment necessary to conduct cutting-edge scientific research.
Through special funding arrangements, Cancer Center members receive subsidies for and/or priority access to utilization of these resources. With respect to the Cancer Center, these resources are primarily intended to facilitate peer-reviewed, funded cancer research. By prior arrangement, junior faculty who are utilizing start-up packages or intramural support may be eligible for subsidized access. New shared resources with a demonstrated utility for cancer research are developed as is appropriate.
