Core--Nutrition Biochemistry and Metabolism

该核心有三个组成部分： 1.分子生物学和生物化学支持服务由贝克博士指导; 2.子核心C1：人体成分和能量平衡评估服务，由 博士Zeisel和Busby女士;以及， 3.子核心C2：由Pomp博士指导的动物营养和代谢表型分析服务。 核心设施为营养领域的研究人员提供了使用最先进的分子生物学技术的能力。 生物技术它帮助研究人员开发和使用生物标志物进行营养研究。它还评估 人体、小鼠和大鼠的全身代谢、身体组成和活动。的主要目标 核心是向调查人员提供他们不熟悉的技术信息和培训， 这将促进他们的研究。我们希望展示这些技术如何适用于 研究者自己的研究计划。通过向多个用户提供公共服务，我们还希望 促进调查人员之间的合作。在过去五年中， 调查人员使用了我们的服务，我们为15名年轻人提供了服务， 研究人员和那些新的营养领域。此外，与营养流行病学中心合作， 核心，我们已经提供了几个研讨会，以传播信息，以潜在的核心用户

This core has three components: 1. Molecular Biology and Biochemical Support Services directed by Dr. Beck; 2. Subcore C1: Human Body Composition and Energy Balance Assessment Services directed by Dr. Zeisel and Ms. Busby; and, 3. Subcore C2: Animal Nutritional and Metabolic Phenotyping Services directed by Dr. Pomp. The Core facility provides investigators in the field of Nutrition with the ability to use state-of-the-art molecular biology techniques. It helps investigators develop and use biomarkers for nutritional studies. It also assesses whole-body metabolism, body composition, and activity in humans and in mice and rats. The main goal of the Core is to provide information and training to investigators in techniques that they are unfamiliar with, but which would enhance their research. We hope to show how these techniques can be adapted for use in the investigator's own research program. By providing a common service to multiple users, we also hope to facilitate the development of collaborations among investigators. During the past five years, 55 established investigators have used our services, and we have provided services to 15 young investigators and those new to the field of Nutrition. In addition, in collaboration with the Nutrition Epidemiology Core, we have offered several workshops to disseminate information to potential Core users
