Dear Colleagues

I’m currently writing a COST action targeting core facilities. But I’m having some trouble finding any relevant published information/formalization about the history of the concept. I know this is very generic but any information is welcome.

Sorry for asking a non confocal question...

Hi Nuno,

you may have a look at that website listing some interesting papers covering this topic.
http://www.gerbi-gmb.de/CFs_management 

Furthermore, this ones is very good read:

"One step ahead: Innovation in core facilities"
Saskia Lippens, Christophe D'Enfert, Lilla Farkas, Anna Kehres, Bernhard Korn, Mònica Morales, Rainer Pepperkok, Lavanya Premvardhan, Ralph Schlapbach, Andreas Tiran, Doris Meder, Geert Van Minnebruggen
EMBO reports (2019) 20, e48017
http://embor.embopress.org/content/20/4/e48017.abstract 


I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Robert

Thanks for pointing these out, Robert. Very useful information. The link to
the innovation paper was broken though, here's the fixed version:

The following statement from Lippens et alia implies, or perhaps is direct in saying, that there were not cores before the 1990s.  "The first core facilities that were established during the 1990s mainly offered DNA sequencing and/or bioinformatics services. Since then, the number of technologies and services offered by core facilities has greatly increased to include proteomics, metabolomics, electron and light microscopy, high‐throughput screening, analysis or sample handling, or synthetic chemistry."

When in 1991 I was offered a position at Albert Einstein College of Medicine to provide confocal, video microscopy, and image analysis access to the community as a shared resource, there already were mature cores at the institution including an excellent EM core.  Also, the shared instrumentation grant that was awarded to purchase the confocal had a management plan for a training director and administrative structure within the college as per management of existing cores including billing (and, by extension, usage reporting.  Even then, it looked like boilerplate, so it must have been common practice.  Regardless, I was told to read this to understand the outline of my job responsibilities.

I don’t know the history of the cores that proceeded ours, but they had been around since at least the early 1980s and, I think, from the early 1970s.

A history of cores needs to look back earlier than the Internet and, perhaps pre-BITNET.

I look forward to reading a comprehensive history.

Best regards-
Michael Cammer

Indeed, the University of Sydney Electron Microscope Unit was established in 1958 (one instrument, 2 staff)...
Now renamed with maybe 40-odd staff and lots of instruments.
