THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Core facility that provides the following services: Clinical data management, Project operations and compliance support, Custom database application development, Research technology support, Proposal development service. The Clinical Research Computing Unit (CRCU) is a designated core research facility within Penn Medicine, specializing in clinical research informatics (CRI) collaboration and research IT services with a growing number of clinical and translational research investigators at Penn. The CRCU currently supports 58 funded projects, valued at more than $336 M (total costs, all years) to Penn. Although situated within the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB), the CRCU supports an increasing volume of its research portfolio led by PIs external to the CCEB. This year the total value of these research programs was $ 243 M, so that the proportion attributable to PIs external to CCEB exceeded 70% ($243 M / $336 M = 72%). Established originally on April 1, 1997, within the Biostatistics Unit of the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the primary foci were to develop a research computing base for the new program in Biostatistics, as well as to create the capacity and resources to compete successfully for data coordinating centers (DCCs) of federally funded, large-scale, multi center clinical trials, and epidemiological studies. These technology resources also permitted CCEB faculty and staff to provide essential collaborative CRI support for Penn investigators throughout the wide array of basic science and clinical departments, centers, and institutes, thus enhancing their likelihood of funding success. On July 1, 2002, the CRCU restructured its operations and expanded its focus in response to the overall research project growth within the CCEB and the University. The CRCU, as an organizational unit, moved from within the Biostatistics Unit of the CCEB to a CCEB-wide organizational service center for both the Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology units. With this restructuring, the CRCU now has two faculty co-directors; one representing each of the CCEB units. The faculty directors ensure that the overall strategy and goals of the service center are aligned with the overall goals of the CCEB, as well as Penn Medicine. In 2005, the leadership model was expanded with the appointment of four (4) Directors of Operations, each of whom report directly to the faculty directors and manage a specialty sub-unit of staff to more effectively coordinate the evolving complexities of the more than 58 sponsored project teams. The original two (2) Senior Directors now focus their leadership efforts on technology infrastructure, new methodologies, special projects and fostering strategic collaborations with other Penn departments, commercial vendors, and other institutions. The University of Pennsylvania aspires to excellence in all domains. The CRCU embraces these ideals, as it partners with faculty and staff to conduct biomedical, behavioral, clinical and translational biomedical research at the highest levels of excellence. Advances in healthcare and improvements in quality of life through research depend on thoughtful science and uncompromising integrity in the collection and handling of information. The CRCU excels in the support of biomedical and clinical research by providing expertise in all facets of research information management, and by understanding the regulatory and cultural environments in which research is conducted. The CRCU fosters collaborative relationships with investigators in the CCEB, other Centers and Institutes throughout the School of Medicine, and across the University, to take an active partnership role in meeting their research goals. The CRCU is committed to continuous improvement in the expertise offered and the services provided, through an emphasis on education and training for staff and through the use of leading technologies and creative solutions.

Core facility that provides the following services: Maintenance of transgenic or mutant zebrafish lines, Zebrafish research training, Zebrafish embryo supply service. The CDB Zebrafish Core facility provides services and training to Penn faculty interested in using the zebrafish model system as part of their research program.
A basic fastq compressor, designed primarily for high performance.
A group of scientists who collaborate and promote zebrafish neuroscience research. The consortium has opportunities for networking, scholarly publications and zebrafish-related symposia and conferences. The consortium is a supporter of the Zebrafish Neurophenome Project (ZNP), an initiative for a database of zebrafish behavioral and physiological data in an online, open source format.
THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Software for a Lab Information Management System (LIMS) for high-throughput screening of small molecule and RNAi biological assays.
Dataset of the spike and laser timestamps from Kravitz, Owen and Kretizer's 2012 paper "Optogenetic identification of striatal projection neuron subtypes during in vivo recordings." The code will analyze spike trains around laser pulses to determine if a cell is significantly activated by the laser, and therefore expresses an excitatory opsin, such as channelrhodopsin-2. It returns an excel sheet that simply identifies the activated cells.
Software for DNA Copy Number and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis designed with high-throughput diagnostic laboratories in mind.
Platform-independent array copy number analysis software that provides straightforward yet comprehensive detection and reporting of copy number changes.
Software package for clonality testing providing statistical tests for clonality versus independence of tumors from the same patient based on their loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or genomewide copy number profiles.
A database of job listings
