Find a Core Facility

Zebrafish are known to be an excellent vertebrate model system for biological studies such as genetics and toxicology. Comparative Medicine Resources (CMR) hosts a Core Zebrafish Facility located at Nelson Biological laboratories consisting of six Aquaneering racks and one Tecniplast rack in Smithers Hall for Quarantine imports. Principal Investigators can house their research fish while CMR staff provide exemplary daily husbandry care from larval stage through adulthood. Our goal is healthy and productive research fish for your studies.

The facility has state-of-the-art instrumentation that can be used either directly by users or by facility staff for the analysis of biological samples.

The overarching mission of Bioinformatics is to provide leading-edge data acquisition and analysis tools, computational informatics expertise, data analysis, and intensive training to foster advances in research and discovery in investigative oncology.

The Biospecimen Repository and Histopathology Service aims to support transdisciplinary and translational research through cost-effective, quality controlled tissue collection, biospecimen procurement and processing and cancer clinical trial support.

The High Resolution Microscopy Core was established in 2003 with funding by the NIH NIBIB. Located within the Rutgers Biomedical Engineering building, our mission is to enable scientists from all disciplines to gather data and images in order to complete their research. We are a full-service facility providing personalized assistance on all aspects of imaging, including sample preparation, training on microscope usage, and assistance with image data analysis. The HRMC provides training, imaging assistance, and assistance with analysis for confocal microscopy to both the Academic and Industrial research community.

The primary mission of the Cancer Prevention and Outcomes Data Support (CPODS) SR is to support participant recruitment, data collection, and management of diverse research projects, including surveys, observational studies, randomized controlled trials, implementation science and cancer care delivery research, program evaluation, and qualitative research studies

The facility provide advanced microscope systems for optical imaging of live and fixed samples It has two scanning Confocal systems, all attached to inverted microscopes. Each of these systems has unique imaging capabilities beyond those of the traditional confocal microscope, but samples must be prepared on sealed slides, chamber slides or chamber/dish with coverslip bottom.

The Center provides state of the art human magnetic resonance imaging with a research dedicated 3T scanner. The facility was created by the Brain Health Institute in order to further clinical neuroscience efforts at Rutgers. The Center aims to facilitate high quality neuroscience research aimed at understanding brain -behavior relationships in both health and disease.

Rutgers comprehensive program of animal care includes protocol review, a duly-constituted animal care committee, occupational health and laboratory safety, and full-time veterinary care. Our animal care facilities are USDA-registered and accredited by AAALACi, an association widely recognized for its standards of excellence in laboratory animal care and has an Animal Welfare Assurance with the US Public Health Service (PHS), a requirement for conducting any PHS/NIH-funded animal work. Animal Care works closely with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) to provide the highest quality animal care and veterinary oversight of our research animals in support of this commitment to humane animal research.
