CORE--TECHNOLOGY

描述（由申请人提供）：技术核心支持计划项目中所有项目的共同技术需求。支持包括现成的实验仪器、在使用仪器方面的技术咨询和专门知识、进行实验的技术援助以及在实验设计和数据解释方面的援助。核心由四个独立的设施组成：辐射：提供用于细胞和动物照射的伽马和x射线仪器。AFM：为成像生物大分子提供原子力显微镜服务。微阵列：提供自动化芯片和数据库设备，用于测量细胞中的基因表达水平。生物统计学：为实验设计和数据分析提供统计协助。Timothy Jorgensen博士是Technology Core的主管。他协调和监督核心的所有活动，包括财务和行政职能，并监督各设施主任。他负责监督各项目间公平合理使用设施的既定政策，并根据整个项目的最大利益对设施的使用进行优先排序。他将跟踪设施的使用情况，确保设施得到良好维护并保持正常工作状态，解决用户纠纷，确保遵守安全法规，并向项目总监提供核心状态的年度报告。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The technology core supports the common technical needs of all of the projects within the Program Project. Support includes readily available experimental instrumentation, technical advice and expertise in the use of instruments, technical assistance in conducting experiments, and assistance in experimental design and interpretation of data. The Core consists of four separate facilities: Radiation: Provides the gamma- and x-ray instruments for cell and animal irradiations. AFM: Provides atomic force microscopy services for imaging biological macromolecules. Microarray: Provides automated chip and database equipment for measuring gene expression levels in cells. Biostatistics: Provides statistical assistance for experimental design and data analysis. Dr. Timothy Jorgensen is the Director of the Technology Core. He coordinates and oversees all the activities of the Core, including financial and administrative functions, as well as supervises the individual Facility Directors. He monitors established policies that govern the fair and equitable use of the facilities among the various projects, and prioritizes facility usage in the best interests of the overall Program. He will track usage of the facilities, ensuring that they are well maintained and kept in working order, resolve user disputes, insure compliance with safety regulations, and provide an annual report on the status of the Core to the Program Project Director.
