Take our customer suvey and be entered into a prize drawing!

Each month, investigators come to the Biomedical Research Core Facilities for access to state-of-the-art resources, instruments and expertise in biomedical research. To better understand the needs and usage of researchers and Core users, the BRCF is asking its customers to take a brief online survey.

Take the survey now!

Your feedback is very important to us, and will help us improve to better meet your needs. Plus, everyone who submits a completed survey (and includes their full name) will be automatically entered into a prize drawing!

Thank you in advance!

Researchpalooza is the perfect opportunity for colleagues and friends to have a great time and meet, mingle, and learn more about many of the organizations that offer their stellar services to faculty, students, and staff, all at one convenient time and location.

Each Core will have a table at the event. Come by and say hi! We'll have giveaways, including grand prizes, games and more!

Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology, Andrew Lieberman, M.D., Ph.D., and his department are studying several forms of inherited neurodegenerative disease, with the aim to understand disease mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets.

"We have worked closely with the Transgenic Animal Model Core to develop several mouse models of human disease using gene targeting," Dr. Lieberman explained.

"Mouse models of neurological disease are among the best experimental systems to use to further the understanding of pathogenesis of these complex disorders. The core has been an essential resource for us, facilitating our development of several new model systems, which have played a central role in our research. Along the way, the core has trained several members of my lab to handle mouse ES [embryonic stem] cells and has provided lots of advice that enabled our success in generating these models."

BRCF staff work closely with postdocs on a daily basis and understand how important access to top-of-the-line equipment and technology is to your work. This session is a unique opportunity to learn from the best in biomedical research as the internationally recognized Core Directors discuss the latest innovations and techniques in Bioinformatics, DNA Sequencing, Metabolomics, Flow Cytometry, Transgenic Animal Models and more. FREE lunch, RSVP required.
