MBCF meaning in Academic & Science ?

This is an example of a molecular biology core developed in an academic institution over the past 35 years. These molecular biology cores are now commonplace and necessary in that they provide NIH funded academic labs access to expensive instrumentation in a shared use setting.

The Molecular Biology Core Facilities (MBCF) was created to allow investigators at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) access to cutting edge molecular biology tools which would be tested and developed in a shared setting. Collaborations can be set up with anyone in the world. Although these services are primarily focused on Cancer and AIDS research, there is a broad spectrum of research that uses these resources.
