Why the HEAL Lab Service Center?

Lehigh University's College of Health established the HEAL Service Center in 2024, serving internal faculty, external academic partners, and industry collaborators across the greater Lehigh Valley region. The center houses highly valuable instrumentation such as a mass spectrometer with dedicated operational support, giving researchers reliable, long-term access without the burden of managing equipment independently. By centralizing these resources within the College of Health, the center connects investigators across disciplines, strengthens the university's research capacity, and helps faculty compete and prepare for grants. Researchers at any stage of a project are welcome, whether they need a quick targeted analysis or are building a large-scale study from the ground up.
