Analytic Core

分析核心由安德鲁·胡夫纳格尔执导，丹·雷弗里担任副核心总监， 发现新陈代谢组子核心中心主任。此核心的主要功能是提供附属公司 研究人员(AIS)拥有尖端分析分析，支持基础和临床研究需求 由NORC服务的社区。 分析核心和发现代谢组子核心的具体目标是： 具体目标1：为认可机构提供高质量、成本效益高的实验室检测。 具体目标2：响应人工智能对实验室的开发、验证和优化的需求 营养学和肥胖症研究中使用的测试，涉及人和动物标本。 具体目标3：与AIS合作，优化样本收集和存储以及分析平台 和工作流程。 核心以极具成本效益的方式提供全面、最先进的服务，包括 开发专门针对AIS(直接服务)的专门测试，并作为AIS访问的渠道 华盛顿大学(UW)其他地方提供的实验室服务(间接服务)。通过处理 为整个UW系统的临床实验室转诊提供后勤服务，Core无缝地提供服务 它们的范围比以更具成本效益的方式获得的范围更广 如果分析核心作为一个仅执行直接测试的独立单元运行，将是可能的。 为满足认可机构要求进行化验的需要，我们在回应直接化验要求的同时，亦 通过积极帮助认可机构制定与研究相关的决策，预测未来的需求和研究方向 设计和方法，并通过开发新的分析，纳入新的技术和执行 需要开展发展研究，以确定和/或便利获取分析。

The Analytic Core is directed by Andrew Hoofnagle with Dan Raftery as the Associate Core Director and Director of the Discovery Metabolomics Subcore. The primary function of this Core is to provide Affiliate Investigators (AIs) with cutting-edge analytic assays that support the basic and clinical research needs of the community served by the NORC. The Specific Aims for the Analytic Core and the Discovery Metabolomics Subcore are: Specific Aim 1: To provide access to high-quality, cost-effective laboratory testing for AIs. Specific Aim 2: To respond to AI needs for the development, validation, and optimization of laboratory tests used in nutrition and obesity research involving human and animal specimens. Specific Aim 3: To work with AIs to optimize specimen collection and storage as well as assay platforms and workflows. Comprehensive, state-of-the-art services are provided by the Core in a highly cost-effective fashion both by developing specialized tests specifically for AIs (direct services) and by serving as a conduit for AIs to access laboratory services offered elsewhere at the University of Washington (UW) (indirect services). By handling logistics for referrals to clinical laboratories throughout the UW system, the Core seamlessly provides services that are broader in scope than would otherwise be available in a manner that is much more cost-effective than would be possible if the Analytic Core operated as an isolated unit that performs only direct testing. To meet the need for laboratory testing requested by AIs, we respond to direct requests for assays while also anticipating future needs and research directions by actively helping AIs to shape decisions related to study design and methodology and by developing new assays, incorporating new technologies, and performing the developmental research needed to establish and/or facilitate access to analyses.
