Provides access to the latest technologies, with consultation and services available throughout the design and execution of sequencing projects.

A pharmacogenomics resource for study of cancer. Multiple tools are available, currently including the CellMiner family with CellMiner, CellMinerCDB (cross data-base), CellMinerCDB: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), CellMinerCDB: National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) andCellMinerCDB: Sarcoma. These sites include multiple cancerous cell lines sets and data types. In addition there is CIMMiner for cluster image maps and MIMminer, with several scholarly molecular interaction maps.

Core provides access to genomic technologies and Next-Generation Sequencing. Provides DNA and RNA quality control services, user accessible instrumentation, training, consultation services, bioinformatics support, and secure data delivery management.

The NIDA-IRP Histology and Imaging Core (HIC) serves NIDA-IRP researchers by providing access to existing and emerging neuroanatomical technologies to map and characterize neuronal circuits. Towards this end, the HIC has established three goals:

Goal 1. Increase access to existing and emerging neuroanatomical techniques to NIDA-IRP researchers.

Goal 2. Develop and adopt emerging neuroanatomical techniques for the use of NIDA-IRP researchers.

Goal 3. Provide consultations and training to NIDA-IRP researchers in the adaptation and execution of neuroanatomical techniques and procedures.

The NIDA IRP Confocal and Electron Microscopy Core (CEMC) serves NIDA-IRP researchers by providing access to confocal and electron microscopic technologies to characterize cellular and ultrastructural properties of organelles, tissue culture and brain tissue. Towards this end, the CEMC has established three goals:

Goal 1. Increase access to confocal and electron microscopic techniques to NIDA-IRP researchers.

Goal 2. Develop and adapt emerging confocal and electron microscopic techniques for NIDA-IRP researchers.

Goal 3. Provide consultations and training to NIDA-IRP researchers in the adaptation and execution of confocal and electron microscopic techniques and procedures.

Mission:
The Genetic Engineering and Viral Vector Core (GEVVC) provides support to NIDA-IRP researchers by facilitating studies of brain function under physiological and pathological conditions through developing and producing genetic tools capable of modulating and monitoring the molecules, cells and circuits in the nervous system.

Services:
The NIDA GEVVC provides services in three main categories: 1) the custom design and/or production of viral vectors/nanoparticles, 2) in vitro molecular and cell biology services, 3) consultation and training.

Scientific Imaging is comprised of Microscopy Lab, MicroCT Center, and Scientific Visualization Center. Facility is user driven research core in support of National Museum of Natural History life sciences research.
