JCCC Shared Resources
Maximize Your Research Potential
Other UCLA Shared Resources
Biostatistics, Analytical Support & Evaluation (BASE)
The Biostatistics, Analytical Support & Evaluation (BASE) Shared Resource is dedicated to providing comprehensive and top-quality biostatistics support for cancer-related research. Their mission encompasses various areas, including basic and translational research, clinical trials, and population studies. BASE offers a range of services designed to enhance research outcomes. They provide statistical support for grant applications, assist with data analysis, offer interpretation of study results, and aid in manuscript preparation. At BASE, there goal is to empower researchers by providing comprehensive biostatistics support, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation in statistical methodology to advance cancer-related research at the JCCC.
Genomics
The Genomics Shared Resource (GSR) is an advanced resource dedicated to cutting-edge genomics research. Equipped with state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing and microarray platforms, GSR offers fully automated, high-throughput genomic capabilities. This resource provides comprehensive services, specialized expertise, and extensive training opportunities to support basic science and translational/clinical research. They assist researchers throughout their projects, from pre-experiment consultations to post-experiment support. These services include grant application assistance, publication preparation, and strategic planning for further research.
Flow Cytometry
The Flow Cytometry Core Laboratory provides instrumentation and technical and professional assistance for performing lase-based analytical flow cytometry, image cytometry and cell sorting, as well as mass cytometry. Flow is a powerful tool for the study of complex biological systems, allowing researchers and clinicians to analyze large amounts of data from thousands of individual cells in a short amount of time. The technology is widely used in research, diagnostic, and clinical settings, providing valuable information for studying cancer and the development of new treatments.
Molecular Screening
The Molecular Screening Shared Resource delivers high throughput screening to the UCLA research community. Features of the Molecular Screening include High Throughput Screening (HTS) Technology, chemical libraries, and databases. The goal of molecular screening is to provide individuals with information about their genetic makeup and to help detect cancer early, allowing for earlier intervention and better outcomes. By providing insights into the underlying genetic causes of disease, molecular screening can also contribute to the development of new treatments and therapies.
Small Animal Imaging (SAI)
The Small Animal Imaging (SAI) Shared Resource provides state-of-the-art in vivo imaging technologies and related diagnostic and radio-therapeutic services to JCCC and UCLA faculty, staff and students. The goal of small animal imaging is to provide researchers with detailed information about the structure and function of small animal models, allowing them to study disease processes, test new treatments, and evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs and medical devices in a controlled laboratory setting. These techniques play a critical role in the development of new therapies and treatments for cancer.
Translational Pathology Core Laboratory (TPCL)
The Translational Pathology Core Laboratory (TPCL) is a CAP certified research facility that provides expert consultative services to investigators in pathology-related study design, tissue selection, microscopic interpretation, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, laser capture microdissection, digital image analysis, and IRB-related tissue request questions. The Translational Pathology Core Laboratory provides a critical resource for researchers, enabling them to study tissues and organs at the cellular and molecular level, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of cancer. The laboratory also provides access to advanced technologies, specialized expertise, and high-quality tissue samples, helping researchers to advance our understanding of cancer and develop new treatments.
