The Biomarker Core Facility uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide resources and support research programs through training and collaborative opportunities in the scientific community.  We use state of the art technology to deliver precise and accurate biomarker measurements.
 
 
Our facility provides analyte measurements on a variety of human and animal materials including serum, plasma, urine, and cell supernatants.  We work with investigators and repository personnel to coordinate sample shipment to the lab.  We perform, analyze, and interpret immunoassay data utilizing various methods and instrumentation.
 
 
We can assist with identifying proper sample type, collection, storage, shipping, and testing methods.  We will work with researchers to generate method descriptions and develop cost estimates for grant submission.
