Finding research collaborators at UVA
UVA collegiality: UVA faculty collaborate among departments, centers, and schools. Speak with your research mentor or senior faculty in your department, who can refer you to colleagues in the SOM or across Grounds who might be helpful in your research. Alternately, the Office for Research (x3-7088) may help in finding collaborators or specialized equipment to support your research.

Other research resources at UVA
Center for Comparative Medicine: The University's AAALAC-accredited facility supports biomedical research utilizing animals. Services include training, veterinary support, animal housing, etc.
General Clinical Research Center: The NIH-supported GCRC has been in existence since 1968, providing inpatient and outpatient facilities, staff, and support cores for the conduct of advanced clinical research. It is located on the 8th floor of the University Hospital.
Clinical Trials Office: The CTO supports the development of proposals and protocols for clinical research, clinical coordinators, and data management, biostatistical, and QA/QC.
Clinical Data Repository: The CDR is a database facility allowing authorized researchers to access UVa health care data, including individual data from the UVa patient information systems (demographics, diagnoses, procedures, financials, patient tracking, length of stay, etc.) and comparative statewide and national datasets. Integrated into this are clinically-rich departmental datasets for selected subsets of patients. Patient identifiers are encrypted or omitted to protect patient confidentiality and privacy.

Research Core Facilities. The School of Medicine supports several state-of-the-art core facilities that are available to investigators on a fee-for-service basis. These facilities are administered by Jay W. Fox, Ph.D., Assistant Dean for Research Support, and an advisory committee. Each core is overseen by a faculty committee; the SOM Research Advisory Committee (RAC) recommends annual subsidies to the Dean.
- Office of Research Core Administration - access the Core Facility usage and invoicing system.
- Advanced Microscopy Facility - transmission and scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, immunocytochemistry, negative staining, autoradiography, specimen preparation, etc.
- Bioinformatics Support Core - analysis and storage of GeneChipTM and microarray data.
- Biomolecular Research Facility - mass spectrometry, protein sciences, peptide synthesis, biomolecular interactions and solution dynamics, and DNA chemistry. Description of the new fee structure for sequencing services (eff. 9/1/06).
- Biorepository and Tissue Research Facility - procurement and processing of human tissue and other biospecimens for research purposes (collection of specimens from surgical procedures and in clinical trials, histology-based services, macrodissection services, and DNA, RNA, and protein isolation from human biospecimens).
- Flow Cytometry Core Facility - cell sorting and analysis services, training.
- Gene Targeting and Transgenic Facility - production of transgenic, congenic, and chimeric, and knockout mice; cryopreservation and IVF.
- Lymphocyte Culture Center - customized lymphocyte-myeloma hybrid construction and monoclonal antibody production.
- Research Histology Core - tissue preparation and staining; in situ hybridization.
- Molecular Imaging Core - MR imaging and spectroscopy on live animals and human and animal organs.
