CORE--Ugandan Laboratory Core

CWRU/UHC研究企业的一个特点是非常重视国际生物医学研究，特别关注发展中国家。与乌干达政府和研究机构的16年合作促进了结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的开创性研究。在发展中国家，新举措的一个主要限制是现场缺乏最先进的实验室设施。CWRU，乌干达政府和Makerare大学之间长期的研究关系导致了乌干达广泛的研究基础设施的发展。为了促进这些资源的共享，并促进/支持新的研究举措，与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究有关的所有实验室设施和服务现在都由CWRU/UHC CFAR乌干达实验室核心管理，目标如下： 1. 提供全面的实验室服务，以协助CFAR研究人员进行与HIV/AIDS相关的研究项目 2. 宣传这些服务，处理请求，并通过乌干达实验室核心协调基于研究的分析 3. 与CWRU和Fogarty艾滋病培训赠款合作，提供培训乌干达科学家的机制 展望未来，乌干达实验室核心力求： 1. 开发新的检测方法，以满足CFAR研究人员的需求，并提高乌干达艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的质量 2. 通过促进培训奖学金、赞助研讨会和会议，继续让乌干达科学家/临床医生与CFAR成员进行研究合作

A hallmark of the CWRU/UHC research enterprise is a strong emphasis on international biomedical research with a particular interest in developing countries. The sixteen-year collaboration with Ugandan government and research facilities has fostered seminal studies of TB and HIV/AIDS. A major limitation to new initiatives in the developing world is the lack of state-of-the-art laboratory facilities on site. The longstanding research relationship between CWRU, the government of Uganda and Makerare University has resulted in the development of an extensive research infrastructure in Uganda. To facilitate sharing of these resources and to promote/support new research initiatives, all laboratory facilities and services associated with HIV/AIDS research are now being administered by the CWRU/UHC CFAR Uganda Laboratory Core with the following objectives: 1. provide comprehensive laboratory services to facilitate HIV/AIDS-related research projects of CFAR investigators 2. advertise these services, process requests, and coordinate research-based assays through the Uganda Laboratory Core 3. provide a mechanism for training of Ugandan scientists in collaboration with CWRU and Fogarty AIDS Training Grant Moving forward, the Ugandan Laboratory Core seeks to: 1. develop new assays to meet the needs of the CFAR investigators and improve the quality of HIV/AIDS research in Uganda 2. continue to engage Ugandan scientists/clinicians in research collaboration with CFAR members by promoting training scholarships, sponsoring workshops and meetings
