THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 12,2026.Core facility that provides the following services: Tissue collection, Histology services, Molecular pathology services, Pathologist consultation. <BR/> <BR/>The Pathology Shared Resource (PSR) provides four primary services for NCCC investigators: # it partners researchers with appropriate pathologists to provide specific expertise matched to the needs of the research project; # it coordinates the procurement, preservation, and distribution of human tissues and cells for funded and developmental NCCC basic and clinical research; # it performs histologic, immunohistologic, and molecular diagnostic procedures including DNA sequencing SNP genotyping and quantitative gene expression analysis for NCCC researchers; and # it provides a GMP cell processing laboratory for the isolation/purification, manipulation, expansion and/or storage of cells derived from a patient''s/subject''s peripheral blood intended for autologous reinfusion. The Pathology Shared Resource is closely integrated with the anatomic pathology laboratory of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and provides a cost-effective mechanism for NCCC investigators to take advantage of the economic efficiencies provided by that high-volume facility. The Core is managed by the Norris Cotton Cancer Center as a shared resource on behalf of the university and is available to all investigators within the greater Dartmouth research community. This Shared Resource is supported by funds from the Norris Cotton Cancer Center Core Grant and is overseen by the EMTG, an oversight and advisory committee of the Cancer Center.

The instruments are housed in the EM wing of Remsen. Because the facility is intended to provide service to all the campus, yet has limited personnel, a major effort is made to provide training in the use of appropriate instruments to enable users to do their own microscopy. In addition to this training, there will be service assistance available for those unable to spend time on the microscopes, and for processing of biopsy samples from DHMC.

Core facility that provides the following services: Cigarette smoke exposure analysis service. <BR/> <BR/>Our lab is interested in the innate immune system at the mucosal surfaces of the female reproductive and respiratory tracts. A special focus of this work is to determine the effects of cigarette smoke on changes in immune protection. The relationship of cigarette smoke exposure to increased risk of infection is well established, however the mechanisms involved are not. Our research shows that cigarette smoke exposure reduces production of a key antimicrobial chemokine, CCL20. Ongoing research in the lab seeks to determine if similar responses to cigarette smoke exposure underlie increased rates of infection and how cigarette smoke exposure associated infection is linked to the development of cancer. Consulting; training; planning; experimental management assistance. Banked tissue samples available for preliminary studies. Small animal cigarette exposure.

The primary mission of the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) is to improve the statistical aspects of cancer research at Dartmouth by providing expert statistical collaboration for research projects of Cancer Center members. Because every aspect of cancer research involves data, all research programs potentially may require the participation of the BSR. Areas of special faculty expertise include clinical trial design, longitudinal data, statistical methods for genomics and managing data, measurement error methods, nonlinear dose response modeling, quality of life data, decision sciences, cost effectiveness analysis, and diagnostic test assessment. Faculty and staff offices are located on the 8th floor of the Rubin building at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). The BSR maintains an extensive statistical software library providing access to all major statistical analysis platforms. Server and network access are provided through Cancer Center administration, DHMC, and Dartmouth College. The BSR collaborates closely with other shared resources for project development and monitoring through the Office of Clinical Research, and the Integrative Biology and Experimental and Translational Models Shared Resources.

Core facility that provides the following services: Animal in vivo MRI and MRS Service. <BR/> <BR/>The Biomedical NMR Research Center belongs to the Research Division of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology. Dr. Barjor Gimi is currently Director of the MR center. The Center houses a 7T horizontal bore Varian MR scanner in Vail and a 9.4T horizontal bore Varian MR scanner in Borwell. Research at the Biomedical NMR Research Center aims to advance applications of NMR techniques for tissue characterization in health and disease. We are developing non-invasive MR techniques to reveal unexplored details of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in vivo. We use multinuclear MR technique both in imaging and spectroscopy modes and work with several animal models to achieve the goals above. Biomedical NMR Research Center provides a wide range of in vivo MR protocols for Dartmouth College and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center scientists. These include high resolution anatomical and functional MRI scanning procedures from rodents. Localized ��������H and ����������������P NMR spectroscopy can be acquired from several target organs to map, for instance metabolite concentrations, energy state, intracellular pH or tissue temperature.
