PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the Center for Environmental Genetics (CEG) is to study gene-environment (GxE) interactions, in response to chronic and/or acute exposure(s) to environmental agents across human lifespan, and their ensuing impact on the development of human disease and disability, with the ultimate aim of improving individual and population health. To accomplish this mission, our research requires high-end, cutting-edge technologies in environmental health sciences (EHS). The purpose of the CEG Integrative Technologies Support (ITS) Core is to furnish CEG members with the latest technologies in a manner that enhances research output, increases cost effectiveness, and maximizes the impacts of Center research. The ITS uses a model of providing direct subsidies for members to use leading-edge technologies in existing core facilities. The Core is structured to have maximum flexibility to change and adapt to new needs in EHS research as well as further technological advances. The inclusion of existing facilities in the ITS Core is based on usage, quality of services, technological novelty/investigative power, and services, in line with the vision of the CEG to integrate fundamental, translational, and clinical EHS research for the improvement of human health through cleaner environments. Facilities can be added or removed based on the aforementioned criteria. Aim 1 is to make state-of-the art specialized services available and affordable to Center members through subsidies and expert consultation. The components of the ITS Core are comprised of selected established facilities. CEG members can request matching funds for the use of these services as well as for methods development. Aim 2 is to ensure high-quality innovative technological support for members through the annual evaluation of usage, customer satisfaction of service, and the “right” composition of the ITS Core. The demand for a specific facility service changes based on the needs of the investigators or the exceptionality of the new technology. To remain nimble and up to date, components of the ITS Core will be evaluated annually by an evaluation committee. Aim 3 is to promote awareness of new technologies among current CEG investigators and assist in the recruitment of new members to the Center. The ITS Core will sponsor workshops and seminars on the technologies/services and educate and inform users on how these modern technologies can enhance research. The ITS Core is designed to be a nimble, fast, and fair system of subsidized usage of the latest technologies. It also seeks to encourage established facilities to develop new technologies meeting the needs of CEG members. The currently provided services include next-generation sequencing for research in genomics and epigenomics, proteomics, genotyping, in vivo genome editing, and flow cytometry. New technologies in development include single-cell genomics, and mitochondriomics. The ITS Core stimulates integration by bringing together our experts to develop transdisciplinary crosstalk, make connections, build a network of experts, and increase the quality of EHS research locally and around the world.

项目摘要 环境遗传学中心（CEG）的使命是研究基因-环境（GxE）相互作用， 在人类生命周期中对环境因子的慢性和/或急性暴露的反应， 对人类疾病和残疾的发展产生影响，最终目的是改善个人 人口健康。为了完成这一使命，我们的研究需要高端，尖端技术， 环境健康科学（EHS）。CEG集成技术支持（ITS）核心的目的是 为CEG成员提供最新技术，以提高研究产出，增加成本 有效性，并最大限度地发挥中心研究的影响。ITS采用提供直接补贴的模式 让成员在现有的核心设施中使用领先的技术。核心结构具有最大的 灵活地改变和适应EHS研究的新需求以及进一步的技术进步。的 将现有设施纳入ITS核心是基于使用、服务质量、技术 新奇/调查权力和服务，符合CEG的愿景，将基本的， 翻译和临床EHS研究，通过更清洁的环境改善人类健康。 可以根据上述标准添加或删除设施。目标1是使最先进的 通过补贴和专家咨询向中心成员提供负担得起的专业服务。的 ITS核心的组成部分由选定的已建立的设施组成。CEG成员可以要求 为使用这些服务和方法开发提供配套资金。目标二：确保高质量 通过年度使用情况评估、客户满意度评估、 服务，以及ITS核心的“正确”组成。对特定设施服务的需求根据 调查人员的需要或新技术的特殊性。为了保持敏捷和最新， ITS核心的组成部分将每年由评估委员会进行评估。目标3：促进 了解当前CEG调查人员的新技术，并协助招募新成员 到中心。智能交通系统核心将赞助有关技术/服务的工作坊和研讨会，并教育 并告知用户这些现代技术如何促进研究。智能交通系统的核心是一个 灵活、快速和公平的最新技术补贴使用制度。它还鼓励 建立设施，开发满足CEG成员需求的新技术。当前提供的 服务包括基因组学和表观基因组学，蛋白质组学， 基因分型、体内基因组编辑和流式细胞术。正在开发的新技术包括单细胞 基因组学和基因组学。ITS核心通过汇集我们的专家来促进整合， 发展跨学科的相声，建立联系，建立专家网络，提高质量， 在当地和世界各地进行EHS研究。
