A Core Facility often brings together highly specialised and indispensable scientific expertise, services and research infrastructure in a real or virtual entity (whether or not across disciplines and/or user groups). A Core Facility promotes cooperation between researchers, both internally and externally, and elaborates a strategy for the renewal and/or expansion of the research infrastructure within the Core Facility. Its use is open to all researchers within the Core Facility and/or other users within and outside Ghent University. 

One of the major strengths of this PDXcore facility is the embedment within both UGhent Core Facilities and UZGhent ensures access to essential technology platforms and facilitating access to patient materials and associated data, fostering collaborative translational research endeavors between academia and clinical settings.
