Imaging and Physiology Core

成像和生理学核心(核心E)将促进中心的持续增长和加速项目 通过促进心脏代谢性疾病研究方面的卓越科学成果来促进发展。核心E将 预测中心调查人员的需求--特别是初级调查人员，他们的集体需求 改变-与中心成员就其项目的方向保持不间断的沟通。 核心E将提供对最先进的仪器的访问，并提供与非 侵入性成像、小鼠手术模型和先进显微镜。该中心将推动关于 对相关方法、仪器和技术的理论和技术欣赏。核心意志 与中心成员，特别是初级调查人员合作，制定新的、量身定做的程序来回答 他们的实验问题。主任不仅将为核心E提供的技术提供指导， 也是对该中心初级教职员工的指导。除了满足中心的需求外 在项目方面，核心已经制定了一项可行的计划，以便在#年第三阶段过渡到财务独立。 科布雷支持中心。这些集体抱负目标将通过以下目标实现：一)支持 中心通过卓越的成像和生理学进行项目；ii)成为中心的一个自给自足的特色 通过培养核心的财务独立性；iii)为未来的成像开发新的协议和技术 对研究人员进行理论、应用和分析方面的教育和培训 与成像和生理学有关的。在科布雷第一和第二阶段、大学、中心和 教职员工为Core E的广泛工具做出了重大贡献。 反映核心E在中心进展中的重要作用。署长将继续开发新的 协议，获取最新的仪器设备，并启动与其他调查人员的合作 在整个校园社区。核心将尽一切努力满足成像和生理需求 所有中心成员之间的合作，同时利用校园内的互补资源。这一核心将保持其 目前优秀的服务水平，并积极寻求改善其基础设施，同时为中心成员提供 配备了最先进的仪器。这种进步将继续下去，长期目标是建立一个自我 维系核心。随着Core E进入第三阶段，Core将正式采用其业务模式，将其 为实现自给自足做好计划。核心E将与核心A密切合作，以保持其财务目标，以确保 它的有效性，并提高其效率。此外，这一核心将在将该中心带到 心脏代谢研究在全国名列前茅。这些努力的结果已经是，并将继续是， 从该中心的科布雷毕业生、众多出版物以及NIH核心资助资金的增长中可见一斑 中心成员。核心E将继续是技术发展、科学创新和相关领域的基石 为该中心提供培训，以应对对健康的最大威胁：糖尿病和心血管疾病。

The Imaging and Physiology Core (Core E) will nurture the Center’s continued growth and hasten project development by promoting scientific excellence in investigations of cardiometabolic diseases. Core E will anticipate the needs of the Center’s investigators—particularly junior investigators, whose collective needs change—by maintaining uninterrupted communication with Center members regarding their projects’ directions. Core E will provide access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and deliver expert instruction related to non- invasive imaging, murine surgical models, and advanced microscopy. The Core will promote education on the theory and technical appreciation of relevant approaches, instrumentation, and techniques. The Core will collaborate with Center members, particularly junior investigators, to develop new, tailored procedures to answer their experimental questions. The Director will provide guidance not only for the techniques provided by Core E, but also mentorship to the junior faculty members in the Center. In addition to meeting the needs of the Center’s projects, the Core has established a viable plan to transition to financial independence during Phase III of COBRE support. These collective aspirational goals will be accomplished through the following Aims: i) Support Center projects through excellence in imaging and physiology; ii) Become a self-sustaining feature of the Center by cultivating the Core’s financial independence; iii) Develop new protocols and techniques for future imaging and physiology needs of the Center; iv) Educate and train investigators on the theory, application, and analyses related to imaging and physiology. Support during Phases I and II of COBRE, the University, the Center, and faculty members have contributed significantly to the extensive instrumentation in Core E. Such investments reflect the important role of Core E in the progress of the Center. The Director will continue developing new protocols, acquiring the latest instrumentation, and initiating collaborations with additional investigators throughout the campus community. The Core will make every effort to meet the imaging and physiology needs of all of the Center members while leveraging complementary resources on campus. This Core will maintain its current excellent level of service and actively seek to improve its infrastructure while provide the Center members with state-of-the-art instrumentation. Such progress will continue with the long-term goal of establishing a self- sustaining Core. As Core E moves into Phase III, the Core will formally engage its business model to bring its plan for self-sufficiency to fruition. Core E will work closely with Core A to maintain its financial goals, to ensure its effectiveness, and to enhance its efficiency. Furthermore, this Core will be pivotal in bringing this Center to national prominence in cardiometabolic research. The results of such efforts have been, and will continue to be, evident in the Center’s COBRE graduates, numerous publications, and growth in NIH funding of Core-supported Center members. Core E will remain a bedrock of technological development, scientific innovation, and relevant training for the Center as it tackles the greatest threats to health: diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
