https://www.joslin.org/islet-isolation-core.html

Core facility that provides the following services: Rodent and Porcine Islet Isolation Services, Training Services. The main objective of the Islet Isolation Core is to provide Islets of Langerhans to investigators in the Boston area and beyond. By receiving islets from the Core one is assured of consistent high quality and purity of islets for experiments. The Core can isolate rodent and neonatal porcine islets. This leaves the investigator to concentrate on experiments rather than the complexity of islet isolation. The Core can buy the animals or the investigator can provide their own, such as special transgenic mice. Over the last five years the Core has isolated more than 10 million islets. They also provide training and advice. The Core can provide training not only for the isolation procedure but islet viability, islet size measurement, GSIS (Glucose Stimulated Insulin Secretion), STZ-induced diabetes, transplantation under the kidney capsule, and islet graft retrieval.

Core facility that provides provides state-of-the-art molecular pathology resources to the Harvard community including laser capture microscopy, DNA/RNA/miRNA quality/expression analysis, Luminex FlexMap 3D multiplex bead cytometry, and real-time PCR. The ATRC is a fee-for-use facility. For NeuroDiscovery members, the first 10 hours of training, consultation and instrument use is free. This initial period is intended to provide a first time user with preliminary data/proof of concept regarding their project, and is generally sufficient when investigators work under the aegis of ATRC staff. Thereafter, the base fee varies depending on activity and the extent of your proposed work. Project-based charge-back agreements for large projects can be negotiated with the ATRC Director, Dr. Charles Vanderburg. Although priority is given to NeuroDiscovery members investigating neurodegenerative diseases and the CNS, the facility is also available to any academic investigators within the Harvard medical community and the greater-Boston research community. Under special arrangements the facility may also be made available to the commercial sector. Please contact ATRC Director, Dr. Charles Vanderburg, for details.

Tissue analysis is critical to validation and evaluation of animal models of human cancer, and human cancer tissues serve as the operating system for translational research. The facility supports a wide spectrum of cancer-relevant research, from basic studies on pathogenic mechanisms in cancer to translational research focused on the development of new tests for biomarkers that stratify patients and direct therapy. The Specialized Histopathology (SHP) Core, was created in 2005 by consolidating five histopathology cores into a single unit with two performance sites: Longwood, Directed by Jon Aster and based at the Brigham and Women?s Hospital and MGH, Directed by Anat Stemmer-Rachamimov and based at Massachusetts General Hospital East in Charlestown. The SHP Core provides professional and technical research pathology services to DF/HCC investigators working in diverse organisms (e.g., rodents, fish, and monkeys) or human tissues. The Core also assists in experimental design and the development and interpretation of tests and their results. As of July 2012, the Longwood site offers CLIA Certified services.
