Research Cores
| The following research cores operate under the Office of Research Core Administration. The cores are reviewed and supported by the Research Advisory Committee of the School of Medicine. |
| Advanced Microscopy Facility Provides electron and light microscopy imaging technologies for basic scientists, physicians, and students. |
| Bioinformatics Core The Bioinformatics Core in ITC-ACHS provides infrastructure, data management, analysis, and interpretive support for Expression (Affymetrix data) and Genome (Illumina gene sequencing) Bioinformatics. The core also provides expertise in Bioinformatics software, sequence analysis pipelines, and data management. |
| Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance Facility Facilitates and promotes research which utilizes nuclear magnetic and/or electron paramagnetic resonance (NMR and/or EPR) spectroscopies to examine the structure and dynamics of biologically important molecules. |
| Biomolecular Research Facility see DNA Sciences, Mass Spectrometry, Shared Instrumentation |
| Biorepository and Tissue Research Facility Procures and collects human tissue and other biospecimens for research purposes. |
| DNA Sciences; services for sequencing genomes, gene expression analysis. |
| Flow Cytometry Core Facility Provides a range of services and instruments for flow cytometry and cell sorting. |
| Gene Targeting and Transgenic Facility Produces and preserves genetically engineered mouse strains for animal model research. |
| Lymphocyte Culture Center Constructs lymphocyte-myeloma hybridomas for production of monoclonal antibodies using current technology and methods. |
| Mass Spectrometry; identification and quantitative analysis of proteins and peptides. |
| Molecular Imaging Core Images animals and cells with MRI, X and gamma rays, bioluminescence, fluorescence, and PET. |
| Molmart Provides reagents to University of Virginia researchers (internal service only). |
| Research Histology Core Provides histology services. |
| Shared Instrumentation; access to user operated plate ready & CD and HPLC services. |
| Tissue Culture Facility Provides cell culture services, facilities and supplies to University of Virginia researchers. Services are not available outside the University of Virginia. |
