Cell and Tissue Based Technologies

Molecular Discovery Core (Phoenix)

The vision of the Molecular Discovery Core (MDC) is to build a highly collaborative and state-of-the-art facility at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus to accelerate early-stage drug discovery in the Arizona research community with several instruments geared toward the analysis of biomolecules. This core supports a wide variety of research activities that depend on the detection and analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, compounds, bioactive molecules and biomolecular interactions.

Flow Cytometry Core (Phoenix)

The Flow Cytometry Core provides expertise, training/education, personnel and instrumentation, to assist users in multi-parametric flow cytometry, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for both basic and clinical research. The core Director can provide help with multicolor/multiparameter panel designing, design of experiments, as well as to develop and implement new applications/assays. The core staff is available to provide assistance in sample preparation, staining, data acquisition and analysis.

Comparative Pathology Core Lab

The Comparative Pathology Core Laboratory (CPCL) provides the following expert services: Histology Services, Pathology Services, Immunohistochemistry, Whole Slide Scanning, and Consultation with a Pathologist.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Core

The University of Arizona iPSC Core provides opportunities for students and faculty to be trained with specialized knowledge and skills, support fundamental and translational research, and provide researchers access to stem cell-based technologies and resources to conduct interdisciplinary research that will translate stem cell-based therapies from bench to bedside.

Tissue Acquisition and Cellular/Molecular Analysis Shared Resource (TACMASR)

The Tissue Acquisition and Cellular/Molecular Analysis Shared Resource provides expertise in histological and immunopathological techniques and expert pathological analysis of both human and research animal tissues and cells. TACMASR assists researchers with experimental design and the interpretation of pathological findings. TACMASR is also responsible for the collection, banking, annotation and distribution of surgical biospecimens obtained through the Cancer Center Biospecimen Repository.

Flow Cytometry & Human Immune Monitoring Shared Resource

The Flow Cytometry Shared Resource (FCSR) is jointly funded by the UACC and RII. It supports research by providing state-of-the-art instrumentation for data acquisition, analysis, and cell sorting, and the technical expertise to interpret results, and develop methods. We offer information about new techniques, and applications of flow cytometry through workshops and seminars, and provide training to interested facility users who wish to run their own samples. Individual consultation services are available to discuss the specifics of each project.
