The Angiogenesis, Endothelial & Pro-Angiogenic Cell Core (AEPCC) is a state-of-the-art facility that has been established through the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, to conduct validated and highly reproducible in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis, endothelial, hematopoietic and multi-parametric flow cytometry assays and their role in normal and patient-related hematologic and cardiovascular disorders. In addition to possessing the in vitro and in vivo assays that define the endothelial progenitor outgrowth cells that possess in vivo vessel forming ability, the AEPCC recently stringently defined a population of pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic circulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (CHSPCs) that has been shown to regulate angiogenesis. Discovery of these novel CHSPC subsets demonstrates the uniqueness and strength of the approach by the AEPCC that requires both phenotypic and functional data to validate specific circulating cells that participate in new blood vessel formation. The specific assays offered by the AEPCC function as quantitative analytical tools, potential biomarkers of several hematopoietic diseases, and as experimental platforms for understanding the basic mechanisms of angiogenesis and the interplay between the endothelial and hematopoietic systems. For example, not only are CHSPCs critical for normal and abnormal angiogenesis, but we and others have reported that certain endothelial cells are critical for CHSPC expansion ex vivo and that endothelial cells promote CHSPC engraftment post-ablation. The AEPCC serves to directly perform all of the assays required to analyze research samples, and as a consultation, education, and new assay development site for scientists within and outside the IU School of Medicine and Indiana University. Furthermore, the AEPCC is one of only five nationally recognized Core Centers of Excellence in Molecular Hematology by the National Institutes of Health and is a certified core of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI).

http://www.scienceexchange.com/facilities/magnetic-resonance-research-facility-mrrf-uiowa

The University of Iowa MR Research Facility was established in August of 2004 with the acquisition of a Siemens Trio 3T scanner, shared between research and clinical usage. While the Center is within the Department of Radiology, it is run as a Core University facility. The facility is managed on a daily basis by Vincent Magnotta, PhD, Alan Stolpen, MD, PhD, and Dan Thedens, PhD. Oversight is provided by a Research Advisory committee that reviews new project proposals and equipment acquisitions. Since its inception, the equipment managed by the Research Center has expanded. In 2006, a research dedicated Siemens Avanto 1.5T scanner was loaned to the University by Siemens Medical Solutions to support research studies. Then, in 2007 an NIH/NCRR High End Instrumentation grant supported the acquisition of a research dedicated Siemens TIM Trio 3T scanner. Standard operating hours for the research-dedicated 3T TIM Trio scanner are from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During this time, a technologist is provided to run the scanner. The shared research 3T TIM Trio scanner is available all day Tuesdays (8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.), and Thursday afternoons (12:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.) for research studies. The shared Avanto 1.5T scanner is available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The scanners are also available after-hours if technologist coverage is available, or if the user is certified to conduct MR studies on their own. The current rate for scanner usage is $600 per hour and can be scheduled in half hour increments.

http://www.scienceexchange.com/facilities/next-generation-sequencing-ngs-core

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 15,2024. Laboratory: The Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology''''s Next Generation Sequencing Core (IGSB-NGS) is a state-of-the-art facility for ultra-high throughput sequencing. The core was established in 2007 at Argonne National Laboratory and is housed in Argonne''''s Computing, Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) directorate, providing world class computation power, software, and expertise critical to the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of the unprecedented volume of genetic information being generated on next generation DNA sequencing platforms. The core provides resources and services to Argonne National Laboratory users, University of Chicago users, and to the broader scientific community. NGS is involved in a broad range of scientific research from the sequencing of metagenomic samples to both 16S and 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing for microbial community analysis using next generation sequencing. The NGS laboratory space at Argonne is approximately 1,200 square feet and is supplemented by 140 square feet of office space for the technical director, Ms. Sarah Owens, as well as two additional 140 square foot spaces for technicians. Equipment: The NGS maintains the following workflows: Illumina HiSeq2000 and MiSeq next generation DNA sequencing. The Illumina HiSeq2000 generates over 6 billion reads at 150 bp in length per read resulting in over 600 Gb worth of data across sixteen lanes available per run. The Illumina MiSeq generates over 24 million reads at 150 bp in length per read resulting in over 4.5 Gb worth of data available per run (over a single lane). Applications on both the Illumina HiSeq2000 and MiSeq include: shotgun metagenome sequencing; rRNA-based amplicon library sequencing; and genome sequencing and resequencing. All major equipment is housed within the main laboratory space including three 96-well PCR machines (Applied Biosystems), water baths, analytical balances, refrigerator/freezers (including a large-capacity -80 degree C freezer), incubators, and high and low speed centrifuges (table-top and floor models). Basic equipment and supplies for all advanced molecular techniques (deionized water (Millipore Milli-Q Advantage A10 system), multiple electrophoresis units and digital photographic documentation system) are housed here including equipment for high precision quantitation of nucleic acids (Agilent Bioanalyzer, NanoDrop, and Invitrogen Qubit). The facility also has a Covaris for sample shearing. Any additional equipment needed is located in or near by the NGS laboratory space including a real-time PCR machine (Roche LightCycler 480 with capabilities for both 96-well and 384-well plates) and a liquid handler, the Eppendorf epMotion 5075 robot. Some equipment (autoclaves, ice machine) is located in a common equipment room. Various instruments and methods have been implemented in the NGS''''s standard procedures to maximize quality. These include the use of the Roche Lightcycler 480 II, Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, Invitrogen Qubit Fluorometer, and barcoding of libraries destined for sequencing. (The latter allows for a test sequencing run of each library to be performed to optimize sequencing lane loading density prior to each library''''s final sequencing run). Personnel overview. NGS operations are managed by Technical Director Sarah Owens. Ms. Owens has a Masters in Molecular Biology and Genetics, and 2 years experience working in high throughput facilities, with over 6 years of molecular biology experience. Ms. Owens was instrumental in trouble-shooting the application of rRNA-based amplicon sequencing for the Illumina HiSeq2000 and MiSeq, developing reproducible protocols in collaboration with Illumina. Under the guidance of the Technical Director, the NGS team helps users to determine the most efficient and cost effective approach to meet their research needs.

Situated on the corner of Culloden Rd and Tallavera Rd, Marsfield and originally farmed as market gardens, the Macquarie University Fauna Park stretches over 11Ha; 3.5Ha of which is protected Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest. The area is committed to non-intrusive research, e.g. learning to avoid predation, and other natural animal behaviours. Vertebrates (birds, fish, reptiles) or invertebrates (bees, flies, spiders) are observed in natural settings with minimal disruption to their normal environment. This allows the researchers to verify findings they have documented in the field. Other areas of investigation are water ecology and the competitive abilities of native trees.
