We are a full service, integrated Genomics Facility housed within the Center for Genes, Environment and Health, which includes over 50 faculty and staff supporting research and clinical activities across a wide spectrum of fields. The Genomics Facility provides Next-Gen Sequencing services from expert planning through data analysis including RNA-Seq, Whole Exome Sequencing, Single-Cell sequencing, Spatial Transcriptomics, and customized panels. Analysis results provided are meaningfully applied to the biology in question. The data is stored onsite and is ready for future data mining by our team or others when needed. Our team is trained to utilize both Illumina and Thermo Ion Sequencing Platforms, including many other technologies, to provide the best mix of capabilities for your genomics needs.

The CTRC is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. It provides an infrastructure for the support of meritorious outpatient research directed toward studying normal human function as well as the explanation and treatment of human diseases.

The CTRC Inflammation and Immunology Core Lab provides patient sample processing including: RNA/DNA extractions; cell isolations (BAL, PBMC, others); serum and plasma extractions; and sputum processing, as well as assays to support investigators’ studies such as cell culture, flow cytometry, ELISPOT, ELISA, LPT, and more.

The National Jewish Health Integrated Bioinformation and Specimen Center represents an ongoing, institutionally-sponsored effort to collect and store the data, tissue, fluids and DNA on thousands of our patients who have generously agreed to participate in this program.

Leveraging the clinical phenotyping by our physicians, our internally developed research database, a pathology image database and our biorepository, we can offer our investigators and partners highly characterized information and corresponding samples for research in the full gamut of respiratory and immunologic disease. This unique resource aids in the discovery of genetic tests and biomarkers that are useful in predicting who may get a disease, the likely course of the disease and how it may be most effectively treated.
