## Abstract

Administrative Core Project Summary
The Administrative Core serves critical leadership, organizational and identity roles for the Compound Identity
Discovery Core (CIDC) at Emory University. Dr. Jones will serve as Core Director and maintain overall
organization through regular interactions with MPIs Dr Miller, Dr Morgan and Dr Li. Dr Jones has expertise in
metabolomics and long-term scientific collaborations and academic interactions with other proven scientific
leaders of the Core, Dr Miller and Dr Morgan. The Core is designed to maintain a high level of flexibility for Dr
Morgan's leadership in the Experimental Core to develop arrays of cell systems for targeted xenobiotic
biochemical transformation while at the same time coordinating this with Dr Li's development of computational
systems to support high throughput chemical identification. The Core is further designed to complement
central tool development goals with activities of the Metabolomics Consortium, support service for exposome-
related metabolite identification and metabolomics training and career development. Dr Miller, Director of the
NIEHS-supported HERCULES Human Exposome Research Center at Emory, will be Co-Director for
Exposome Outreach and Exposome Metabolite Identification. Dr Morgan will be Co-Director for Metabolomics
Training and Career Development. Together, these investigators bring a high degree of organization and
management experience to the Emory CIDC. The goals of the Core are to 1) Provide leadership and guidance
for the Emory CIDC. The Core will work to assure that the complementary group of Emory CIDC laboratories
and facilities work efficiently as a team to assure success in development of compound identification tools for
xenobiotic metabolites. 2) Assure progress of the Computational Core and Experimental Core in achieving
their objectives. These cores are distinct but interdependent; the Administrative Core will work to assure that
the Computational Core and the Experimental Core each achieve its goals, thereby helping assure the overall
success in tool development. 3) Develop an infrastructure for servicing needs of the exposome research
community in identification of environmental metabolites associated with disease. The Administrative Core will
work with HERCULES Human Exposome Research Center to develop a structure to support real-life testing of
xenobiotic metabolite identification tools to benefit stakeholders and improve design and usability. 4) Facilitate
communication between the Emory CIDC and the Metabolomics Consortium leadership, other Metabolomics
Consortium components and stakeholders. The Administrative Core will serve as the primary conduit for
interaction with the Metabolomics Consortium and will support additional outreach, training and career
development objectives. The combined expertise and leadership skills of the Administrative Core will assure
that the Emory CIDC achieves its goals to develop powerful new chemical identification tool...
