Core Facilities and Services
The Diabetes Research Center maintains a set of advanced core facilities to aid faculty in their diabetes research. Core services are provided on a fee-for-service basis. Please inquire with core directors for cost estimates of the services requested. Non-members should contact individual core directors to inquire about service availability.
The Diabetes Research Center provides core services in four areas of research:
-
The Advance Tissue Pathology and Imaging Core provides a spectrum of advanced cellular and tissue pathology and imaging services that meet the needs of diabetes researchers at Columbia University.
-
Flow Cytometry is an important tool in quantifying and phenotyping the cells that define pathways relevant to diabetes.
-
The investigators of the Diabetes Research Center employ many murine models to study diabetes and its complications.
-
The Translational Biomarker Analytical Core makes available to Diabetes Research Center investigators a variety of high quality radioimmunoassay and other analyses critical to investigators.
