Core K: Translational Virology

项目总结/摘要 核心K -现代艾滋病毒研究工作需要临床和基础科学研究人员之间的可靠联系。 这些链接包括临床标本的表征和访问， 临床标本、生成数据的解释和管理以及这些领域的培训。的 圣地亚哥（SD）CFAR的翻译病毒学（TV）核心旨在实现这种可靠性和成本效益 链接，为我们中心内的艾滋病毒研究提供附加值。TV Core实现了这一目标， 涉及新的和高级研究人员的广泛的艾滋病毒研究相关活动， 新兴的项目，临床和基础科学研究人员，国内和国际的努力，NIH和 其他投资者等等。 在过去4年中，电视核心向199名调查人员提供了服务，为168份出版物撰稿， 支持由14个NIH研究所资助的研究人员，并对127人进行了安全实验室程序培训 for working加工with HIV艾滋病毒.具体来说，TV Core通过四个密切合作的定义单元提供服务 与其他CFAR核心，概述如下： (1)样本股：获取、处理、跟踪、运输和冷冻样本。（主要合作伙伴： 临床研究核心）。 (2)检测单元：开发并提供广泛的临床相关检测（HIV基因分型，病毒载量， 抗体和核酸检测等）。（主要合作核心：基因组学和测序）。 (3)质量控制部门：为国内和国际CFAR附属公司提供质量控制程序 调查员和对生成数据的分析支持。（主要合作核心：BAM核心）。 (4)培训部门：提供BL 2和BL 3安全和程序方面的培训和认证，样本 处理、PCR、基因分型技术和实验室质量保证。（主要合作伙伴： 发展和国际核心）。

Project Summary/Abstract Core K - Modern HIV research efforts require reliable links between clinical and basic science investigators. These links include characterization and access to clinical specimens, laboratory based assays designed for clinical specimens, interpretation and management of generated data, and training in these areas. The Translational Virology (TV) Core of the San Diego (SD) CFAR is designed to be this reliable and cost-effective link that provides added value to HIV research within our Center. The TV Core accomplishes this goal for a wide range of HIV research-related activities involving emerging and senior investigators, established and burgeoning programs, clinical and basic science investigators, domestic and international efforts, NIH and other funders, etc. Over the past 4 years, the TV Core has provided services to 199 investigators, contributed to 168 publications, supported investigators funded by 14 NIH institutes, and trained 127 individuals in safe laboratory procedures for working with HIV. Specifically, the TV Core provides services through four defined units that work closely with other CFAR Cores, as outlined: (1) Specimen Unit: obtains, processes, tracks, ships and cryostores samples. (Primary collaborating Core: Clinical Investigation Core). (2) Assay Unit: develops and provides a wide-range of clinically-relevant assays (HIV genotyping, viral loads, antibody and nucleic acid detection, etc.). (Primary collaborating Core: Genomics and Sequencing). (3) Quality Control Unit: provides quality control procedures for domestic and international CFAR-affiliated investigators, and analytical support for generated data. (Primary collaborating Core: BAM Cores). (4) Training Unit: provides training and certification in BL2 and BL3 safety and procedures, specimen processing, PCR, genotyping techniques, and laboratory quality assurance. (Primary collaborating Cores: Developmental and International Cores).
