Core--Nutrition Biochemistry and Metabolism

该核心由三个组件组成： 1.由贝克博士指导的分子生物学和生化支持服务； 2.分核C1：指导的人体成分和能量平衡评估服务 Zeisel博士和巴斯比女士；以及 3.分核心C2：由Pomp博士指导的动物营养和代谢表型服务。 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。它帮助研究人员开发和使用生物标记物进行营养研究。它还评估了 人体、小鼠和大鼠的全身新陈代谢、身体成分和活动。该计划的主要目标是 核心是向调查人员提供他们不熟悉的技术方面的信息和培训，但 这将加强他们的研究。我们希望展示如何将这些技术应用于 调查员自己的研究项目。通过向多个用户提供共同的服务，我们也希望 促进调查人员之间的协作发展。在过去的五年里，55个国家建立了 调查人员已经使用了我们的服务，我们已经为15名年轻人提供了服务 研究人员和营养领域的新手。此外，与营养流行病学合作 ，我们已经举办了几次研讨会，向潜在的核心用户传播信息

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
