About
The Green Labs Shared Equipment Core is based on a model, known as the BioCore, that ran for several years as a collaboration between Green Labs, EBIO, MCDB, and IPHY. The BioCore was a finalist for Innovation & Efficiency Award at ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø. about the BioCore's impacts on CU's campus during the first 18 months after startup.Ìý

In May of 2018, the BioCore was started to begin a small- to medium-sized equipment sharing program between the MCDB, EBIO and IPHY departments. Funding originally came from an Innovation Buffs grant, awarded by CU Vice Chancelor and COO Kelly Fox.
At its peak, the BioCore managed 1,770 ft2 of shared laboratory space among two shared labs, as well as a host of other shared equipment that remained in shared spaces and individual faculty labs.Ìý

Under the banner of the Green Labs Shared Equipment Core, our reinvigorated program aims to expand its reach to provide freely accessible equipment to students, faculty, and staff campus-wide. We are working on establishing collaborations to manage shared equipment with multiple departments, based on the previous success of the BioCore model.Ìý
