32 Core Facilities found
Molecular Microbiology
The Molecular Microbiology Facility (MMF) is part of the Center for Microbes, Inflammation, and Cancer. The laboratory works with investigators to use next generation sequencing platforms to analyze the microbial composition of experimental samples obtained from mice or clinical samples obtained from patients.
Mouse Genetics Core Facility (MGCF)
The Mouse Genetics Core Facility (MGCF) supports the use of genetically manipulated mice for in vivo studies of gene function in biological processes that are of interest to investigators.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Analytical)
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analytical Core supports MSK researchers by providing essential analytical services, access and education for analytical instrumentation and related shared scientific resources. Our emphasis is on small molecule synthetic organic chemistry/drug development.
Organic Synthesis
The Organic Synthesis Core designs and executes efficient, economical chemical syntheses of entities that are not readily available to Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers.
Pathology
The Pathology Core is a centralized, comprehensive facility for research involving human tissue. The resource provides professional expertise in pathology, appropriate samples, and tissue-based experimentation.
Patient-Reported Outcomes, Community-Engagement, and Language Core
To support MSK investigators who wish to implement patient- or other self-reported outcomes into clinical research or routine care via traditional survey or interview techniques.
Proteomics
The Proteomics Core provides access to state-of-the-art, mass spectrometry based protein analysis technology. Core services include experimental design consultation, gel band protein ID, post translational modification analysis, SILAC, data analysis, and peptide synthesis.
Radiation Facilities
The Radiation Core provides two animal irradiators and two cell/tissue irradiators for use in research.
Radiochemistry & Molecular Imaging Probes
The Radiochemistry & Molecular Imaging Probes Core provides researchers with radionuclides and helps incorporate them into radiolabeled pharmaceuticals and radiolabeled antibodies for both basic research investigations and patient formulations.
Research Pharmacy
The Research Pharmacy develops, procures, and validates the preparation and packaging of investigational drugs for clinical use.
