San Diego Skeletal Muscle Research Center

圣地亚哥骨骼肌研究中心（SDMRC）由21名科学家组成，他们横跨五个研究机构和九个学术部门。SDMRC的使命有两个方面：（1）为研究人员提供有效的基础设施和环境，以高效和具有成本效益的方式加速他们的前沿研究，以及（2）提供一个组织结构，加强成员之间的沟通，并为圣地亚哥社区提供教育和培训。该中心的建立将在比目前更正式的基础上整合、教育和协同实验室。具体而言，该中心将通过创建三个核心（表型分析、成像和高重复性细胞分析），提供一种快速执行所有研究者所需的通用分析的机制，并在时间和金钱方面实现最小开销。这将自动增强每个单独的程序，因为最先进的方法将立即提供给成员。获得新方法无疑会产生伴随实验数据的新想法。SDMRC将提高效率（因为有一种机制来合作和共享信息）和生产力（因为研究通常是多学科的），这将使个人能够在其个人研究计划中产生比孤立更大的影响。

The San Diego Skeletal Muscle Research Center (SDMRC) is composed of 21 scientists who span five research institutions and nine academic Departments. The mission of the SDMRC is twofold: (1) to provide investigators with an effective infrastructure and environment to accelerate their cutting-edge research in an efficient and cost-effective manner, and (2) to provide an organizational structure that enhances communication amongst members and provides education and training for the San Diego community. The creation of this Center will integrate, educate and synergize laboratories on a more formalized basis than currently exists. Specifically, this Center will provide a mechanism for rapidly performing common assays needed by all investigators with minimal overhead in terms of time and money by creating three Cores: Phenotyping, Imaging, and High Throughput Cell Analysis. This will automatically enhance each of the individual programs since state-of-the-art methods will instantly become available to members. Access to new methods will undoubtedly spawn new ideas that accompany the experimental data. SDMRC will increase efficiency (since a mechanism is in place to collaborate and share information) and productivity (since studies will be routinely multidisciplinary) that will enable individuals to have a larger impact in their individual research programs than would be possible in isolation.
