During the past 20 years, studies on HIV and AIDS pathogenesis conducted at UCLA have relied on a wellrun, state-of-the-art virology core facility. The overall purpose of this facility has been to serve as an accessible resource for development of research techniques for UCLA investigators pursuing basic science, clinical science and behavioral science research in the field of HIV/AIDS. Throughout its existence the goals of the Virology Core have reflected the scientific needs of its users. Uniquely suited to the UCLA community, the Virology Core provides resources that are not easily obtainable commercially nor does it replace existing resources normally supported by individual research grants. To insure that the Virology/BSL3 Tissue Culture Core will continue to be an integral component of the UCLA CFAR/AIDS Institute, the following specific aims are proposed: 1. 1. To supply a readily available resource for UCLA investigators requiring virological support in the form of assays, technical expertise and storage/maintenance of viral specimen inventories for investigators; 2. To provide access and appropriate training for use of the Core-maintained biosafety level 3 (BSL3) tissue culture facility; 3. To serve as a "wet lab" resource for behavioral and social science HIV investigators, offering access to routine bioassays and virological assessments. 4. To develop, evaluate and incorporate new procedures and assays relevant to the needs of UCLA HIV/AIDS investigators; 5. To foster collaboration among UCLA HIV/AIDS investigators, encourage the development of junior investigators and solicit the participation of established investigators not currently working in HIV/AIDS. 6. To offer training and expertise for international investigators and their laboratories who are pursuing collaborative ventures with UCLA faculty.

在过去的20年中，对UCLA进行的HIV和AIDS发病机理的研究依赖于Wellrun， 最先进的病毒学核心设施。该设施的总体目的是作为 为加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员开发研究技术的无障碍资源，攻读基础科学， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域的临床科学与行为科学研究。整个目标 病毒学核心反映了其用户的科学需求。非常适合加州大学洛杉矶分校社区， 病毒学核心提供的资源不容易在商业上获得，也不代替现有的资源 通常由个人研究赠款支持的资源。确保病毒学/BSL3组织 文化核心将继续成为UCLA CFAR/艾滋病研究所的组成部分，以下 提出了具体目标： 1。1。为UCLA调查人员提供随时可用的资源，需要病毒学支持 病毒标本清单的测定，技术专长和存储/维护的形式 调查人员； 2。提供访问和适当的培训，用于使用核心维护的生物安全级别3 （BSL3）组织培养设施； 3。作为行为和社会科学艾滋病毒调查人员的“湿实验室”资源，提供 访问常规的生物测定和病毒学评估。 4。开发，评估和纳入与UCLA需求相关的新程序和测定 艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查人员； 5。促进加州大学洛杉矶分校的艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查人员之间的合作，鼓励发展 初级调查人员并征求目前尚未工作的已建立研究人员的参与 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病中。 6。为国际调查人员及其实验室提供培训和专业知识 与加州大学洛杉矶分校的教师进行合作企业。
