Core facility that provides the following services: Assay Design and Development, High Throughput Screening and automated data analysis. The biology and screening team is responsible for developing, adapting, and automating the HTS assay from the benchtop assay provided by the collaborator. We work closely with the providing researcher to insure that the assay is rapidly moved into high-throughput screening. Once the assay has been validated, the screening of the small molecule library begins. Generally, the screen is expanded to accommodate the full compound library; however, structure-specific searches can be made if the required reagents are limited or costly.

Ascertainment for genetic studies is a crucial and labor-intensive effort. The Genetic Studies Ascertainment Core offers a variety of services to Vanderbilt clinical and basic researchers interested in or currently conducting research involving genetic analysis of complex disorders. We can aid in the development and coordination of individual and family based genetic studies. The faculty and staff have expertise in the issues that need to be considered when setting up a genetic study and are qualified to discuss with individuals issues that might be raised by participation in a genetic study. We can provide services for you or assist you in developing your own program. Study consultations are available to determine cost, time, and personnel needs as well as the best method of ascertainment for your project.

This core has several components. The DNA bank receives specimens from various studies, extracts DNA, and provides storage. Quality control, organization, and efficiency are critical. Genotyping services provide the necessary speed, efficiency, and accuracy to perform genomic screens (with standard markers) in as little time as possible.

BioVU is a research resource providing a View into biology at the level of DNA and other important macromolecules. BioVU has two major components. The first is a repository of DNA samples (extracted from discarded blood samples) that are coded solely by a Research Unique Identifier (RUI) derived from the Medical Record Number (MRN) using a one-way hash function. This is a computer algorithm that creates a transformation of each MRN such that the resulting RUI (which is in this instance is a 512 byte identifier) is unique, and has the property that it is not possible to infer or compute the MRN that generated it. As of early 2009, over 50,000 DNA samples were in the biobank, with new samples being added at the rate of approximately 700 per week.

Core facility that provides the following services: Biospecimen acquisition. The Cooperative Human Tissue Network- Western Division at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is one of six institutions throughout the country funded by the National Cancer Institutes to procure and distribute remnant human tissues to biomedical researchers throughout the United States and Canada. CHTN operates through a shared networking system which allows investigators greater access to available research specimens. CHTN offers a variety of preparation and preservation techniques to ensure investigators are receiving the quality specimens needed for research. Remnant tissues are obtained from surgical resections and autopsies and are procured to the specifications of the investigator.

The purpose of the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center is to provide the resources needed by clinical and translational investigators to carry out their research in an environment optimized for safety, comfort and convenience of the patient or volunteer, with the facilities and expertise to provide the most advantageous milieu in which to address the investigator''s experimental requirements. This includes outpatient space, inpatient beds, laboratories, equipment and supplies for clinical research by the faculty of Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, and their collaborating investigators. The use of the center is justified on the basis of the quality and significance of the research and the special need for the Center''s facilities.

The Chemical Synthesis Core was established within the Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology with the goal of supporting the organic and medicinal chemistry needs of investigators. The primary focus of the core is to facilitate biology-orientated projects within the medical center and the university by assisting with the chemistry aspect of the project. The core works independently or in collaboration with the VICB High Throughput Screening Center on the synthesis of literature-cited compounds (including patented ones) as well as full scale lead optimization of a compound.
