CHB Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (RRID:SCR_009717) service resource, access service resource, core facility Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging performs non-invasive, painless imaging tests that can reveal important information about your child''s health. Nuclear medicine uses short-lived radiopharmaceuticals and specialized cameras to create images of the human body. The images show blood flow and functional and metabolic activity within organs and lesions. This technology allows early diagnosis and monitoring of disease and can often make invasive procedures unnecessary. It also complements information obtained from X-rays, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Some applications of nuclear medicine are used for treatment of certain specific diseases. is listed by: Eagle I nlx_156177 http://www.childrenshospital.org/clinicalservices/Site1948/mainpageS1948P0.html SCR_009717 2026-08-03 09:34:14 0

HMS NERCE Microbiology and Animal Resources Core (RRID:SCR_009807) service resource, access service resource, core facility Core facility that provides the following services: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay service, Fluorescence microscopy service, Real-time PCR Service.

The NERCE Microbiology and Animal Resources Core maintains two laboratories, a BSL-2 and a BSL-3 laboratory, to support the research efforts of all New England investigators conducting research on NIAID priority pathogens. Each laboratory provides the physical environment, equipment, and support personnel required for scientists to work with these agents. The BSL-3 laboratory is an isolated suite that includes individual laboratory rooms and rooms for housing experimental animals, all within a single containment facility. The BSL-3 lab provides the extensive security and administrative support structure required for possession of CDC select agents. The laboratory acquires strains of viruses and bacteria, prepares seed stocks, and characterizes these seed stocks using phenotypic and molecular methods to ensure a well-characterized, pure biological reagent. Laboratory staff members assist investigators with experiments involving pathogen culture, fractionation of biological material, animal challenge, and vaccine and drug administration. The laboratory is equipped for commonly used analytical methods, including fluorescence microscopy, PCR, EIA, and ELISPOT. A single suite with both laboratory and experimental animal capability eliminates the need to transport infectious material between laboratories. The BSL-2 laboratory provides support required by the BLS-3 facility, access to attenuated strains exempt from select agent registration, and laboratory space for visiting investigators. Investigators interested in working with the Microbiology and Animal Resources core laboratory should complete the Core A Request Form and send it to Christine Anderson. See lab website for details. There are no charges for projects focused on NIAID priority pathogens and agents of emerging infectious disease.
