The Molecular and Cellular Imaging Center (MCIC) is an Ohio State University core facility with equipment and services in the areas of microscopy (light, confocal, transmission and scanning electron microscopy), genomics and molecular biology (low- and high-throughput sequencing, library preparation, qPCR) and bioinformatics (research assistance, running standardized pipelines, teaching of courses and of small groups, 1-on-1 training).
We are part of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) and our mission is to support research at CFAES and the rest of Ohio State University by providing cost-effective services. The facility is also available to other research and educational institutions and the private sector. Most of our equipment and staff are in Selby Hall on the Wooster campus, but we have a satellite laboratory in Kottman Hall on the Columbus campus.
If you are interested in using our equipment or services, or just have a question — don't hesitate to contact us by emailing mcic@osu.edu or one of our staff directly.
