The IT Core provides quantitative and qualitative methods for studying proteins, peptides, and other small molecules that play a role in the normal and pathological activities of the digestive organs.
The Cell Services & Histology Core provides a full range of histology services, encompassing routine and specialized grossing, tissue processing, paraffin embedding, microtomy, H&E and special staining, and immunohistochemistry.
Our mission is to support animal model and basic research projects of CGIBD investigators and of scientists nationwide.
The Core develops new experimental methodolgies, based on organ perfusion technologies, that can be applied to experimentation typically required for drug development and evaluation.
The Department of Cell & Developmental Biology Imaging Facility is a research facility whose primary purpose is to provide Departmental members with state of the art confocal and 2-photon laser-scanning microscopy along with high resolution light microscopy.
The Bruker 9.4T horizontal bore scanner is a dedicated system for small animal studies.
The image analysis core in BRIC serves to develop new tools for image analysis and to support the image storage and analysis needs of scientists who use the BRIC facilities.
We provide analyses of peptides, nucleic acids, and metabolites known as potential biomarkers for a wide range of diseases. We offer qualitative and quantitative determination of metals for environmental analyses and health concerns.
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry is used to determine the concentration of metals and metalloids in biological or environmental samples.
This facility provides services in animal studies including orthotopic injections, laboratory coordinator services, tumor passage, tissue/blood collection, injections, colony management, aseptic surgery, drug dosing/oral gavage, intra-cardiac injections, IVIS imaging, animal identification, and protocol assistance.
