3Rs Centre Utrecht

Utrecht University

The mission of the 3Rs Centre Utrecht (3RCU) is to reduce the use of laboratory animals in research and education. To do so, we follow the three Rs of Replacement, Reduction and Refinement (in Dutch: 3Vs of Vervanging, Vermindering en Verfijning), with a primary focus on Replacement.

i-HUB – Plus Ultra Utrecht

Utrecht Science Park

Designed to support the realisation of ideas, our concept Innovation HUB, or i-HUB for short, features fully-furnished labs and offices tailored to your research needs.

ICAT (Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies)

Utrecht Science Park

ICAT, as part of UMC Utrecht aims to accelerate the development and clinical translation of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) by providing academia and industry with shared innovation labs, translational expertise and GMP manufacturing, combining the infrastructure and disciplines needed to bring innovative therapies from concept to patient.

Find your Translational Research facilities

Find facilities that help move discoveries from the lab towards patients, practice or society. These services support validation, implementation, clinical relevance and collaboration across disciplines.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Facility

Utrecht Science Park

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) facility at UMC Utrecht offers services for generation and characterization of iPSC lines from patient blood or tissue samples using Sendai reprogramming. The facility also provides iPSC differentiations into various cell types and generation of 3D microtissues for in vitro disease modelling.

Ombion Centre for Animal-free Biomedical Translation

Utrecht Science Park

Ombion Centre for Animal-Free Biomedical Translation is a centre for valorisation and dissemination of animal-free innovations and expertise. We aim to improve and accelerate the translation of new biomedical innovations to patients and users, at lower costs, and without the use of animals. We offer a professional network, courses, and labs for automation, demonstration and education.

Scinus Cell Expansion

Utrecht Science Park Zeist

Scinus Cell Expansion supports scalable, automated cell culture and expansion using the Osilaris bioreactor platform, helping researchers develop controlled and reproducible workflows for adherent and suspension cell culture applications.

Find your Research & Entrepreneurship Support facilities

Discover services that help researchers and innovators develop, fund, protect and translate their ideas. Support may include project development, partnerships, valorization, entrepreneurship and access to networks.

Single-Cell Core

Utrecht Science Park

Single-Cell Core provides a wide range of novel, state-of-the-art single-cell sequencing services to detect (epi)genomic changes on a single-cell level.

UMC Utrecht Core Flow Facility

Utrecht Science Park

The Core Flow Facility provides and maintains flow cytometry equipment for over 150 annual users within the UMC Utrecht and external organizations.

Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology

Utrecht Science Park

Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology (UPORT) is a central facility within the UMC Utrecht that supports the generation of ‘living biobanks’ of healthy and diseased human tissues. Such biobanks are typically generated using organoid and induced pluripotent stem cell culturing technologies. UPORT provides a logistical infrastructure for rapid and standardized acquisition of human tissues, based on approved protocols for patient inclusion.

Find your Antibodies facilities

Find facilities specialized in antibody development, production, validation and application. These capabilities support biomedical research, diagnostics, targeted therapies and functional studies.
