The Center of Excellence in Oral and Craniofacial Biology currently provides equipment and technical support to the faculty and staff of the LSU School of Dentistry in two principle areas; 1) Physical Chemical and Material Analysis and 2) Cellular and Molecular Analysis. Centralized research facilities are vital to the functional utility of a collaborative research center. These facilities provide investigators with access to technology, services equipment that would otherwise be unavailable to them due to the large expense in purchasing and maintaining these items. The use of expensive equipment in a common core facility provides efficiency in cost sharing and allows investigators greater access to a greater variety of research tools, thus broadening their potential for success. The atmosphere within a centralized core facility also nexus for collaborative interaction and discussion of innovative uses for existing technologies. Centralized core facilities also provide an effective means of maintaining skilled personnel, and optimizing the utilization of such personnel. In addition, they provided a reservoir of research skill that can be used to train new student, residents, post-doctoral fellows and technicians, thereby allowing for greater continuity of research and smaller gaps in research productivity. Funds are requested to strengthen and broaden an existing centralized research core facility by adding equipment for material, cellular and molecular analysis and increasing technical support, in order to provide existing and future researches the greatest possibility of success. The Specific Aims are: 1) To provide centralized shared equipment to enhance the research potential of principal investigators and new hires. 2) To provide technical assistance in the use of the equipment housed within the core facility.

卓越的口腔和颅面生物学中心目前提供设备和技术支持，牙科的路易斯安那州立大学学校的教师和工作人员在两个主要领域; 1）物理化学和材料分析和2）细胞和分子分析。集中的研究设施对于协作研究中心的功能效用至关重要。这些设施为调查人员提供了技术、服务和设备，否则他们将无法获得这些设备，因为购买和维护费用很高 这些东西在一个共同核心设施中使用昂贵的设备，可提高费用分摊的效率，并使调查人员有更多的机会使用各种各样的研究工具，从而扩大他们取得成功的潜力。中央核心设施内的气氛也是协作互动和讨论现有技术创新用途的纽带。集中的核心设施还提供了一种有效的手段，以保持熟练的人员，并优化这些人员的利用。此外，它们提供了一个研究技能库，可用于培训新学生、住院医生、博士后研究员和技术人员，从而使研究具有更大的连续性，缩小研究生产力的差距。资金 要求加强和扩大现有的中央研究核心设施，增加材料、细胞和分子分析设备，增加技术支持，以便为现有和未来的研究提供最大的成功可能性。具体目标是：1）提供集中共享设备，以提高主要研究者和新员工的研究潜力。2)在使用核心设施内的设备方面提供技术援助。
