Center for Craniofacial Research Instrumentation Core

The Center for Craniofacial Research Instrumentation Core (CCRIC) supports multidisciplinary research across the medical center. Located at the South Campus, the CCRIC is committed to enhance and expand collaboration at UTSD, other UTHealth Schools, and outside institutions. We aim to support faculty, students, and staff in the optimal utilization of instruments as a shared resource for which cost, operational investment, and expertise is most efficiently and effectively supported.
