# Biological Data Acquisition and Analysis Core

> **NIH NIH P30** · DUKE UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $234,764

## Abstract

The objectives of the Biological Data Acquisition and Analysis Core are the following: 1) to enhance the 
biological resources of existing Center studies and pilot studies; 2) to maximize their productivity with existing 
biological resources; 3) to inform, educate and train Center investigators, affiliates, postdoctoral fellows, and 
students on novel and innovative biological methods; and 4) to promote collaborative science across Center 
projects. The core staff will provide individualized consultation with Center projects to evaluate resources and 
opportunities, develop a plan to enhance resources and initiate collaboration, provide project management 
support to ensure smooth coordination with facilities and timely completion, supplement project resources to 
assist with data analysis and writing, and provide access to training/educative opportunities to investigators 
and staff. The team will be co-led by Dr. Timothy Strauman, who has expertise in the use of brain imaging 
techniques to study mechanisms relevant for self-regulation, and Dr. Cynthia Kuhn, a pharmacologist, whose 
laboratory will provide a core facility for studies looking to assay stress and immune-related biomarkers. Their 
team will be joined by a set of partner facilities/resources in genomics/epigenetics, neuroimaging, biomarker 
assessment, electronic health records, bioinformatics and biobanking. Matching these resources with Center 
projects will stimulate novel insights into the interplay between early experiences, regulatory processes, 
underlying biological systems, and behavioral outcomes.
