Cores
It has become increasingly clear that high-complexity resource, or core, laboratories require significant investment, both in personnel and funding, to fulfill their expanding missions in a hypothesis-generating scientific environment. The role of these laboratories has moved beyond simple provision of technical services to making complex experiments possible by providing scientific and technological support for advanced problem-based experimentation and by creating a mechanism for acquisition of new methodologies. To meet this challenge, the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has created the Biomolecular and Cellular Resource Center (BMCRC). This center is composed of the departmental-based genomics, proteomics and cytomics "core" resource laboratories, including DNA Microarray, Biomedical Imaging, Molecular Pathology, Flow Cytometry, protein chemistry, and evolving proteomics initiatives.
