The BioCurrents Research Center (BRC) is a resource of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the Biomedical Technology division of the National Center for Research Resources.

The emphasis of the BRC is on the physiology of cellular transport mechanisms, particularly as they influence the boundary conditions in the media adjacent to the plasma membrane. To this end we develop new microsensor technologies that operate in a self-referencing mode. We offer access to ion-selective, electrochemical and biosensor devices, coupled to advanced imaging techniques and electrophysiological approaches, combinations unique to the BRC.
