Core Center: NIDCD Research Core Center P30

HEI听力研究核心中心旨在支持和促进研究，促进合作，并在以下两个领域设定新的研究方向：1)工程学，2)成像/形态学。 核心B：工程-工程核心将开发和保持在快速变化的技术方面的专业知识，以支持科学应用的新的和创新的使能技术：数字信号处理(DSP)、通信接口和控制器。核心还将与特定于项目的工程师互动，提供这些领域的核心硬件和软件组件，以便整合到研究项目中。 核心C：成像和形态学-旨在为高等学校的科学家提供最先进的活体成像、形态学和显微镜服务和培训。这些服务包括检查和维护所有成像设备、图像存储和分析、形态测量和培训。增加一名组织学技术员将有助于实现这一目标。增加一名全职共焦技术人员尤其重要，因为我们正在购买两台新的激光扫描共焦显微镜，功能更强，以取代我们10年前最初购买的那台。核心将对所有成像和组织处理设备进行检查和维护。该核心还将鼓励合作和传播有关成像领域进展的信息。

The HEI Core Center for Hearing Research aims to support and facilitate research, foster collaborations and set new research directions in the following two areas: 1) engineering, and 2) imaging/morphology. Core B: Engineering - The Engineering Core will develop and maintain expertise in rapidly changing technologies to support new and innovative enabling technologies for scientific applications: digital signal processing (DSP), communication interfaces, and controllers. The Core will also interact with project-specific engineers to provide core hardware and software components in these areas for integration into research projects. Core C: Imaging and Morphology - aims to provide state-of-the-art, intravital imaging, morphology and microscopy services and training to HEI scientists. Such services include inspection and maintenance of all imaging equipment, image storage and analysis, morphometry and training. The addition of a histology technician will help towards the achievement of this objective. The addition of a full time confocal technician is particularly important since we are in the process of purchasing two new Laser Scanning Confocal microscopes with increased functionality to replace the one we originally purchased 10 years ago. The Core will perform inspection and maintenance of all imaging and tissue processing equipment. The Core will also encourage collaboration and dissemination of information about advances in the field of imaging.
