BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY CORE LABORATORY

这个生化和分子核心设施，在大卫·哈德博士的指导下， 在Jayashree Narayanan的协助下，将为所有三个项目提供集中的专业服务 参与了本计划。工作人员将由项目负责人或专业人员进行培训，以执行 本计划项目资助所需的各种程序。这个设施将保持完整， 所有化验的计算机化和集中化记录和明确定义的质量控制指南。此外 哈德博士将与研究人员协商，开发新的分析方法，以满足不断变化的需求 和计划的指导。 到目前为止，Core开发的新检测方法包括沉默的siRNA技术 基因表达，实时聚合酶链式反应定量信使核糖核酸水平，代谢模型记录内皮 功能障碍和测量心肌梗死的动物模型。哈德博士和纳拉亚南女士首先 有为另外两个计划项目运营核心实验室的实际经验。核心设施位于 心血管中心，靠近所有三名研究人员的实验室 项目。

This Biochemical and Molecular Core facility, under the direction of Dr. David Harder with the assistance of Jayashree Narayanan, will provide a centralized professional service to all three projects involved in this Program. The staff will be trained by the project leaders or specialized personnel to perform a variety of procedures required in this Program Project Grant. This facility will maintain complete, computerized and centralized records and well-defined quality control guidelines for all assays. In addition new assays will be developed by Dr. Harder in consultation with investigators to meet the changing needs and directions of the Program. New assays that have thus far been developed by the Core include siRNA technology to silence gene expression, real time PCR to quantitate mRNA levels, metabolic models to record endothelial dysfunction and animal models to measure myocardial infarction. Dr. Harder and Ms. Narayanan have first hand experience in running core laboratories for two other Program Projects. The Core facility is located in the Cardiovascular Center which is in close proximity to the laboratories of the investigators for all three projects.
