Clinical Laboratory and Biomarkers

临床实验室和生物标记物核心将促进和协调获得实验室专门知识的途径。这个 这个核心的总体目标是确保所有JHU艾滋病毒调查员，特别是初级调查员，将拥有 最大可能地获得适当使用和所需实验室分析的专业知识 解决他们的研究问题。该核心还将建立和维护一个生物标记标本 用于存储和访问生物标本的存储库。核心将与行政部门、 发展、临床、预防和生物统计、流行病学和方法核心，以及 科学工作组，以确保获得尖端和质量有保证的实验室方法 在巴尔的摩和全球开展艾滋病毒研究的初级和新调查人员。

The Clinical Laboratory and Biomarkers Core will facilitate and coordinate access to laboratory expertise. The overall goal of this core is to assure that all JHU HIV investigators, particularly junior investigators, will have the greatest possible access to expertise on the appropriate use of and the laboratory assays required for addressing their research questions. This Core will also establish and maintain a biomarker specimen repository for storing and accessing biological specimens. The Core will interact with the Administrative, Developmental, Clinical, Prevention and Biostats, Epidemiology and Methods cores, as well as with the Scientific Working Groups, to assure access to cutting edge and quality-assured laboratory methodologies to junior and new investigators conducting research on HIV in Baltimore and globally.
