Research and Services
U54 Center for Cancer Systems Biology
We provide systems Analysis of Epigenomic Architecture in Cancer Progression. Despite anti-hormone therapies in patients, the cognate receptors ERα and AR can remain functional to support oncogenic signaling for advanced progression of breast and prostate cancers.
Bioanalytics and Single-Cell Core (BASiC)
Bioanalytics and Single-Cell Core provide standardized, high-quality services to support translational research, including pre-analytical biospecimen single-cell processing and isolation procedures, as well as analytical technologies that deliver a systems-oriented perspective on the composition of a sample.
Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Facility
The facility consists of an AFM, a type of stylus profilometry where a stylus interacts with a surface of tested material using a broad range of physical and chemical properties. We offer the following services based on Bio-AFM: testing surface topography of biomolecules (nano-scale), cells, tissue sections, organoids, single cells, and biomaterials (micro-scale). In addition, it offers micro- and nano-manipulation of objects.
