Facility Cores

Facility Cores provide specialized equipment and facilities, personnel, and expertise to support the research of investigators. The Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center supports three Facility Cores:

The Aquatic Pathology Core provides high quality research animals (rainbow trout and zebrafish), exposure and rearing facilities, technical assistance, and specific expertise in surgery, necropsy, and histopathological evaluation in support of short-term and long-term research studies by Center Investigators.

The Structural Chemistry Core provides both structural analysis and state-of-the-art Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) capacity to Center Investigators.

The Microarray Core provides guidance and software to aid in the selection and design of oligonucleotide probes, technical expertise and hardware for manufacturing custom arrays, preparation of samples, and analysis and graphical display of complex datasets.
