Certain enabling technologies are found commonly in the life
science sector, with specific technologies supporting research from
a wide variety of applications. Access to such technology is crucial
to undertake world-class research. To facilitate this, the University
has established a Technology Directorate: shared research facilities
(
SRFs), managed and supported centres for specific enabling
technologies that are used widely across the University.
SRFs are run by academic experts and supported by dedicated
technical staff; as a result academic output and user satisfaction
are considered to be key metrics of performance. They offer far
more than an analytical service; they are centres of excellence
that provide expert advice, support and training in their
specialised fields.
