# Core C: Analytical Core

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER · 2020 · $136,650

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
The Analytical Core was set up in 2006 with the financial assistance of Phase I of the COBRE program. From
its inception, it was designed primarily to assist with liver-related medical research and as such needed to
support both quantitative genetic and quantitative biochemical, pharmacological and toxicological research.
Pursuant to this goal the Core offers the following services: (1) it maintains and operates, on a fee-for-service
basis, an array of modern instruments ranging from qPCR instruments (quantitative genetic-analysis) to
multimode plate readers (quantitative biochemical analysis) to mass spectrometers with attending
chromatographs (PK/PD assays, metabolic/metabolomic analysis). (2) It provides clients with expert advice
and hands-on training in any or all of the strategies and instrumental techniques offered by the Core. Currently
the Core Director Dr. Robert Winefield, is the Core's only employee, but he benefits from the guidance of an
advisory committee comprised of three highly experienced current or former directors of academic and
commercial bioanalytical laboratories. During Phase III, the Core will seek both to update its foremost
instruments and to transition from being wholly dependent on COBRE to being self-sufficient, relying on basal-
support from the University and user fees. Accordingly, this unique core laboratory, with the potential to
support a far wider research community than was originally intended, will ensure its long-term viability.
