ALERT Welcome to Pitt’s iLab System!
Pitt’s iLab is integrated with our single sign-on and billing systems, linking faculty and staff grants to reserved time and services.
As of January 2026, we have 36 shared research facilities online with more expected to onboard throughout 2026.
Important: The department field for all Pitt employees has been standardized using a naming convention. Please do not modify this field, as it is essential for building templates that enable automated reporting.
Please review our Shared Facilities webpage and the iLab training material available in the “Using Core Facilities” section.

The University of Pittsburgh Clinical Research Unit (CRU) is an outpatient clinical trials research unit devoted to the study of experimental treatments and tests for HIV infection and its complications. The CRU, previously the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit or ACTU, began conducting HIV/AIDS clinical trials in 1986 and has since acquired broad experience in Phase I-IV studies from NIH, industry, and investigator-driven studies. As a Rustbelt CFAR Core D partner, the Pitt CRU provides rapid access to existing clinical data and repository samples, on-demand acquisition of fresh biologic samples, including hard-to-acquire tissue samples, regulatory support, database development, and community outreach. Personalized services are provided to identify and obtain the most appropriate services for each project. A complete list of services is available on the "Request Services" tab in iLab.
Clinical Sciences Core D is led by Directors Jeffrey Jacobson of CWRU and Sharon Riddler of Pitt.
