It is the University’s expectation that only those who are well and not presenting with COVID-19 symptoms attend a Monash campus or location. View our latest updates.
As part of the Alfred Research Alliance, the Central Clinical School (CCS) is at the forefront of translational research, allowing us to rapidly translate our research discoveries into improved patient treatments. To support CCS researchers in their quest to tackle some of medicine’s most complex challenges we are home to a selection of world-class facilities, platforms and state-of-the-art equipment.

The Bioinformatics Platform at A+ aims to facilitate research groups through empowerment and education of bioinformatics skills. Training material and workshops are available to members of the Central Clinical School.
**For most projects, it is strongly recommended to contact the MBP early on as part of the experimental design process and not after the data has been acquired**
Training material available to CCS staff through MBP and Monash Data Fluency:

ARAFlowCore is a flow cytometry facility providing world-class flow cytometry services to scientists from Monash University, the Burnet and Baker Institutes, the Alfred Hospital as well as commercial entities in Melbourne, Australia. Flow cytometry is an incredibly powerful tool in biomedical research for analysing the characteristics of cells, organisms and particles on an individual basis. The facility manages three high speed sorters for cell isolation, an imaging cytometer and six analysers, including a state of the art 5-laser spectral analyser, collectively making the facility one of the top centres in Australia. Importantly, the facility’s experienced staff operate the sorters and provide training and assistance for the analysers, along with expert assistance in experimental design.

The Monash Histology Platform’s AMREP node was established in 2014 to support the needs of researchers and students of the Alfred Research Alliance (ARA) precinct. The Histology Platform also provides services for researchers from other institutes and external clients. Our aim is to provide a high quality, reliable and cost-effective histological service.
Histology involves the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues. Tissues are carefully processed, sectioned and stained revealing delicate morphological features that can indicate health or disease for research, education or clinical studies. The Histology Platform has two service models:
*In addition, the experienced Histology team can provide advice, training and research assistance in:
*Some of these services are available through the main Histology Platform laboratory located on the Clayton campus.

Monash Micro Imaging has established a node at Central Clinical School to manage the core imaging resources. MMI@ARA+ coordinates and facilitates microscopy resources and is responsible for microscopy training and research support. Training sears and workshops are also conducted to help broaden understanding of imaging. MMI@ARA+ staff are available to assist with experimental design, and techniques such as live and fixed cells imaging, time-lapse, 3D, high resolution of large areas, DIC and ion imaging such as Ca 2+ and pH.
We offer the following services:
MMI@ARA+ is located on level 6 of the Burnet Building within the Department of Immunology and Pathology.
