Res Resources

项目总结(见说明)： 我们建议提供一个共享的跨部门研究资源核心，包括两个主要的 组件，一个质谱仪和一个细胞和分子成像中心，将提供 最先进的设备和专业水平的支持，以满足研究需要 并加强旧金山州立大学学生的培训经验。弥撒 光谱分析设备包含最新的电喷雾离子陷阱质谱仪等质量 用于小分子和蛋白质组学分析的光谱仪。细胞和分子成像中心 包含一台尼康Eclipse C1激光扫描共聚焦显微镜系统和一台FACSCalibur Flow 细胞仪。每个研究资源中心都由一名博士级别的经理监督，该经理具有 在各自专业领域有15年以上的研究经验。我们正在请求支持 来自RIMI的支持设施和维护设备。这台设备提供了现代化的 为旧金山州立大学的教职员工提供仪器，使他们有机会进行更具创新性的研究 生物医学研究中的问题。在我们目前的RIMI项目中，有170多名毕业生和 本科生在这两个研究设施接受了培训，其中包括 MARC和MBR等项目有所增加。这些研究资源的可获得性将产生 对少数民族教职工和学生开展的研究起到了积极的作用。除了这一重要的 结果，对这些在科学界代表性不足的群体的支持将影响少数群体 他们提供服务。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): We propose to provide a Shared Inter-Departmental Research Resources Core with two primary components, a Mass Spectrometry Facility and a Cell and Molecular Imaging Center that will provide state-of-the-art equipment and professional-level support necessary to meet the research needs of faculty and enhance the training experiences of students at San Francisco State University. The Mass Spectrometry Facility contains the most recent electrospray ion trap mass spectrometer and other mass spectrometers for small molecular and proteomic analyses. The Cell and Molecular Imaging Center contains a Nikon Eclipse C1 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope system and a FACSCalibur flow cytometer. Each of these research resource centers is supervised by a Ph.D. level manager who have more than 15 years of research experience in their respective specialties. We are requesting support from RIMI to support the facility and maintain the equipment. This equipment provides modern instrumentation to SFSU faculty giving them the opportunity to pursue more innovative research questions in biomedical research. During our current RIMI program more than 170 graduate and undergraduate students have received training in the two research facilities, including students in programs such as MARC and MBRS RISE. The availability of these research resources will have a positive effect on the research performed by minority faculty and students. In addition to this important outcome, support of these underrepresented groups in science will impact the minority communities they serve.
