To use the facilities managed with the iLab platform, you will need to create an account using the links at the top right of this page.
- HSC Students/Staff/Faculty will need to sign-up as an UNTHSC user. This will allow you to sign-in using your EUID and allow you to be recognized as an internal user. Students/Staff will need to request access to your PI's lab during the sign-up process.
- External users will need to sign-up for an iLab account as a non UNTHSC user. For help with the sign-up process, you can visit the iLab Help site or contact Marcy.Butler@unthsc.edu.
- If you have any issues with the registration process or working with the core facilities via iLab, please contact Marcy.Butler@unthsc.edu.
