A central tissue repository at Moffitt specializing in protocol-driven human tissue collection, storage, processing and dissemination. Tissue Core provides investigators with access to high quality, well-annotated human specimens obtained from representative of the patient populations. The advent of powerful molecular technologies has opened the door to developing more effective treatments of patients with cancer. Access to high quality specimens with associated clinical, treatment, recurrence outcome data will be critical to developing and validating the tests needed for diagnosis and prediction of response to therapy. Since its commencement in 1993, the Tissue Core has collected more than 8,000 cases of human liquid cancers and solid primary and metastatic tumors both malignant and benign with adjacent normal, from variety of sites and diagnoses. Collected samples are mostly remnant tissues obtained from patients undergoing therapeutic surgical procedures at the Center. The core also ensures tissue release compliance with USF-IRB and Privacy Board recommendations. * Protocol driven sample collection, processing and distribution * Collection of sample and patient demographic information. * Nucleic acid extractions from tissue sections, FNA, core biopsies blood and bone marrow. * Histology services: H&E slides, staining, sectioning, paraffin blocks, OCT blocks, sample microdissection * WBC, plasma and serum isolation. * Project development and support: Facility staff provides advice and guidance to researchers.

The BioCurrents Research Center (BRC) is an integrated technology resource of the NIH:NCRR. The activities of the Center focus on molecular physiology as it relates to the cell function and disease. Our particular interest is how the dynamics of cell responses are reflected in the chemical profiles of microdomains surrounding single living cells. In order to measure complex cellular boundary layers, the BRC has specialized in the development of extremely sensitive signal acquisition and processing methods along with miniaturized electrochemical sensor designs. The technique is non-invasive and termed self-referencing. Since its establishment in 1996, the BRC has directed its technological research and development to the design and application of ultra-microelectrodes (tip diameters of less than 10m) tailored for the detection of specific chemicals. These have been successfully applied to the boundary layer profiles of many different cell types, with thematic strength in diabetes research, reproductive health and development (see collaborative profiles). More recently, it is changing its focus to technical developments, enhancing the integrative approach to cell function. To understand a cell as a dynamic and integrated whole, BRC must be able to examine responses from different domains as near to real time and as synchronously as possible. To this end, it is developing imaging capabilities to work in parallel with electrochemistry and conventional electrophysiological techniques. Imaging includes a spinning disc confocal, as well as a low light/luminescent imager designed and built within the BRC. The technologies developed or under development are in high demand within the biomedical community. Over 40 investigators work with the Center each year in a collaborative or service capacity. Over 80 of our visitor pool is NIH funded, representing approximately 25 NIH divisions and institutes. As part of our training and dissemination program we host occasional workshops at major national and international meetings, train a significant number of new investigators each year and host graduate students undertaking portions of their thesis dissertation using our technologies. In dissemination we advise on, and install, electrochemical systems in off campus research endeavors, both academic and industrial.

The program seeks to help veterinary students become biomedical researchers. A secondary goal is to provide research experience to veterinary students interested in careers in laboratory animal medicine and/or pathology. Previous participants were veterinary students at Colorado State University, Cornell University, Kansas State University, Michigan State University, North Carolina State University, Ohio State University, Purdue University, Tufts University, Tuskegee University, University of California, University of Illinois, University of Tennessee, Washington State University, and Western University. The Program consists of workshops on research-related topics, a veterinary student journal club, sessions on research career development for veterinarians, an individual research project, and a veterinary student research symposium. The research project is the most important part of the Program. The goals of the research project are to have students address a significant experimental question, work independently and with other researchers, and produce and publish results. Students are matched with a preceptor (see list of faculty below) according to research interests. The preceptor outlines a focused project for the student to perform in their laboratory. Students become completely involved in their assigned laboratory participating in laboratory meetings and social events, attending seminars with other members of their laboratory, and working on their research project at least 40 hours/week.

http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu/Summer_Scholars_Program.htm

The aim of the Summer Scholars Program is to provide veterinary medical students the opportunity to explore the world of biomedical research, develop and complete a biomedical research project during the summer. The intent is to engage students in a creative, problem-solving research activity and to provide a learning experience that will lead to the discovery of new knowledge in an area of their choosing and identify potential pathways to a career in biomedical research. Research plans will be developed by students with faculty mentor input, on any topic of interest to the student and likely to lead to the discovery of new information. Example topics are: immunology and infectious diseases, cancer biology, molecular epidemiology, experimental studies focused on nutrition and obesity, pharmacology, environmental toxicology, mechanisms of pathogenesis, zoonoses, biomechanics, cardiovascular pathophysiology, and others. The mentor and other advisors will provide guidance to students and an assessment of progress. Students will provide at completion of the study, an oral presentation of their results to their colleagues and all mentors and a presentation of results via posters at the annual Merial NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium, to be held in 2010 at the University of Georgia, and at the LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. It is noteworthy that one Summer Scholar won an award at the 2008 LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. LSU Students will receive elective credit in the curriculum (VMED 5010 or VMED 5463) for successful completion of the program. Students will be strongly encouraged to work with their mentors to publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals separately or as a smaller piece of work with their mentors. Sponsors: The program is funded by a Merial Foundation grant and an NIH T35 training grant.
