Core Facilities
The Vanderbilt DRTC supports the following shared core resources:
- Hormone Assay & Analytical Services Core (Alan Cherrington, Ph.D., Director) provides assays of hormones, metabolites, lipid, and amino acid profiles for DRTC-affiliated investigators at Vanderbilt and for investigators at other institutions.
- Metabolic Physiology Shared Resource Core (David Wasserman, Ph.D., and Stephen Davis, M.D., Co-directors) assists investigators wishing to address hypotheses related to diabetes and metabolism in a range of animal model systems (mouse, rat, canine) and humans.
- Cell Imaging Shared Resource Core (David Piston, Ph.D., Scientific Director) supports the full range of modern microscopy and digital imaging capabilities and is heavily used by DRTC investigators.
- Transgenic / ES Cell Shared Resource Core (Ron Emeson, Ph.D., Director) assists investigators in the generation of genetically modified mice.
- Islet Procurement and Analysis Core (Alvin Powers, M.D., Director) provides and characterizes islets from a range of species (mouse to human) to DRTC-affiliated investigators studying pancreatic islet biology.
- Prevention, Control, and Translation (Tom Elasy, M.D., Director) promotes innovative diabetes-related translational research.
- VDRTC investigators and other Vanderbilt scientists also have access to Research Cores operated by the Vanderbilt Office of Research.
