The UQ Oral Health Centre research facility is centrally located on level 6, with direct connections to the clinical specialist suite and the advanced diagnostic imaging clinic.
The research space, which is almost 1000 m² in size, includes a research meeting room, 32 carrels for higher degree research students and visiting academics, 6 shared offices for postdocs, as well as the main laboratory which is rated for PC2 work. This main laboratory has 60 workstations.
There are six specialised laboratories which come off the main laboratory, supporting work in cell culture, 3D printing and molecular biology, advanced imaging (including confocal scanning laser microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy), lasers and photonics, dental material testing, and microbiology.
There are also separate rooms for cryostorage, glassware reprocessing, and steam sterilisation. The laboratory is equipped with a wide range of advanced equipment, including facilities for hard tissue processing and 3D printing.
The COR3 Bio Fabrication facility has been awarded ISO 9001:2015 certification, ensuring our researchers receive consistent and high-quality services through our ISO 9001 Quality Management System. To be ISO 9001 compliant, we have been assessed by SAI Global against internationally recognised standards showing our commitment to quality and assurance.
