Front row: Denice, Moon, Benlian Back row: Cathy, Scott, Dawn VSRC Core Modules can improve & facilitate your vision research!
Tissue Culture & Hybridoma
Dawn & Denice can assist you with all your tissue culture needs, especially when
it comes to the growth and maintenance of "eye" cell lines! Dawn has over five
years experience in culturing these often finicky types of cells. They can also
assists with transfections and troubleshooting of tissue culture problems.
Denice provides assistance in developing, growing and ultimately purifying
antibodies produced from hybridomas. She does this at a fraction of the cost for
you when compared to enlisting the aid of external sources.
Molecular Biology and
Specialized Animal Resources
Moon provides genotyping services, including primer design. Working with Katie &
Heather, in the Specialized Animal Resources Core, she ensures you are working
with the purest strains of mice available. Additionally, she can help you with
cloning and construct construction.
Histology
Cathy is your best choice if you need high-quality paraffin or cryostat sections
and slides , as well as histological stains. She can help you with your
immunohistochemistry, and can also cut plastic sections.
Microscopy and Digital Imaging
Scott generates the highest quality images around, in addition to providing
training for your microscopy needs. He has a knack for designing automated
microscopy routines and subsequent image analysis macros to enhance and speed up
your research.
Proteomics
Benlian can run 2D gels, prep your samples for Mass spec, and provides
extremely thorough analysis for all of your proteomic needs!
