The Center for Research in Reproduction occupies the sixth floor of the Suhling Wing of the Old Medical School (Administration and the Ligand Assay & Analysis Core) with additional laboratory space on the seventh floor of the Multistory Building (Molecular Biology Core). The Faculty who are Center members, are housed in laboratories throughout the Health System at the University of Virginia and see patients in Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatric areas.
The Center for Research in Reproduction Ligand Assay and Analysis Core provides high quality, cost-effective assay services for CRR projects and other Reproductive Sciences Branch-supported (both internal and external) projects. The Core's Mission is to (1) support an assay menu (for human, rat and mouse samples) required by the majority of reproductive investigators that access the Facility; (2) develop and validate new assays and modify current assays, as needed; (3) provide assistance and consultation regarding assay methodology, data reduction/analysis, data interpretation and biomathematical modeling to investigators that access our Core Facility.
