摘要

科技进步的步伐不断加快,需要专业的知识和尖端的仪器来保持生命科学研究的竞争力。核心设施--配备最先进工具和专业人员的合作实验室--是支持各种科学努力的重要资源。然而,由于资金和文化方面的挑战,这些设施在低收入社区的应用相对停滞不前。本文探讨了不支持国家研究企业核心设施的危害,强调了对发现科学和关键基础设施支持进行平衡投资的必要性。我们从资助者、大学领导和实验室负责人的角度探讨了其中的影响。我们主张转变模式,承认这些设施是国家研究工作的重要组成部分。核心设施的定位不是可有可无,而是能够促进突破的战略性投资,尤其是在资源有限的环境中。

More than just ‘added value’: The perils of not establishing shared core facilities in resource-constrained communities

The accelerating pace of technological advancements necessitates specialised expertise and cutting-edge instruments to maintain competitive research in life sciences. Core facilities – collaborative laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art tools and staffed by expert personnel – are vital resources that support diverse scientific endeavours. However, their adoption in lower-income communities has been comparatively stagnant due to both financial and cultural challenges. This paper explores the perils of not supporting core facilities on national research enterprises, underscoring the need for balanced investments in discovery science and crucial infrastructure support. We explore the implications from the perspectives of funders, university leaders and lab heads. We advocate for a paradigm shift to recognise these facilities as essential components of national research efforts. Core facilities are positioned not as optional but as strategic investments that can catalyse breakthroughs, particularly in environments with limited resources.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
