The UPR Molecular Sciences and Research Center is a 152,000 sq. ft. advanced research facility with laboratories conducting basic and translational biomedical research in the areas of protein structure and dynamics, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, bio-imaging, pharmacogenetics, and neurosciences. Inaugurated in 2011 it now houses over 300 researchers, students and technicians. The primary goal of the MSRC is to produce a significant increase in competitively funded forefront scientific research by scientists at UPR. The MSRC is the UPR System’s first multidisciplinary environment, designed to meet the needs of cutting-edge research in Puerto Rico for the foreseeable future. This new research space design paradigm features standardization, flexibility and adaptability, systems integration, and ease of sharing equipment and human resources.

Creating opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to experience and learn latest technological advances and the bioinformatics tools needed to analyze these large datasets as well as providing ample project consulting and training.
For graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, young investigators, and faculty on imaging and electrophysiology techniques.
Neuroimaging and Electrophysiology Facility (NIEF) is a core research facility for fluorescent microscopy and electrophysiology applications. NIEF is also world renowned as a Nikon Center of Excellence. We offer a range of services to meet your research needs, from the acquisition and analysis of fluorescence-based images and electrophysiology recordings to hands-on training in microscopy and electrophysiology. At the NIEF, you will have the opportunity to capture high-quality confocal images of subcellular structures and molecular events with great sensitivity and high speed as well as the detection of action potentials and ion channel currents from primary and recombinant cells to cellular tissues and animal models.
