Research Resources and Facilities at the University of Vermont
Life Science Computer Center
The LSCC is located in E-311 Given Building. The Center is available during normal business hours for UVM affiliates who are interested in computing in the life sciences. Undergraduates interested in Bioinformatics or Structural Biology are particularly encouraged to visit. The LSCC includes state of the art hardware, software and peripherals arranged in a classroom setting. There is on-site help available.
Structural Biology & Bioinformatics
The Structural Biology & Bioinformatics Facility at the University of Vermont is a cross-college, cross-departmental collection of research groups whose primary focus is related to structural biology. Our core team consists of four X-Ray crystallographers, one NMR specroscopist, one molecular modeller/computational biologist and their research groups.
Vermont Cancer Center Resource Facilities
Research at the Vermont Cancer Center is supported by the following Shared Resource Facilities.
Biostatistics Shared Resource
The VCC Biostatistics Shared Resource provides consultative and collaborative support to VCC investigators in the general areas of study design, data collection and quality control, data processing, data management, statistical methods development, statistical analysis and interpretation, and manuscript preparation.
Cell Imaging Facility
This facility is designed to provide state-of-the-art, quality-assured, morphologically-oriented services to investigators. It houses sophisticated microscopic equipment that provide digital images that can be subsequently processed and analyzed by available computer-based methods.
DNA Analysis Facility
The DNA Analysis Core Facility expedites cancer research by providing fast, inexpensive, user-friendly DNA analysis services to the members of the Vermont Cancer Center. Facility staff help users troubleshoot difficult sequencing problems (i.e. homopolymeric runs or regions of refractory secondary structure) and assist with experimental design in all services provided to help investigators minimize costs.
Flow Cytometry
This facility provides state-of-the-art analytical flow cytometry capabilities to VCC researchers. Investigators can use flow cytometry to analyze cells or cellular components for a wide range of immunologic, intracellular, genetic, and morphological characteristics. The facility features an EPICS XL four-color analytical flow cytometer that is capable of simultaneously collecting data from up to eleven parameters in parallel.
Molecular Modeling Facility
The Molecular Modeling Facility provides support for computational structural biology and bioinformatics. A range of services are available in addition to state-of-the-art hardware and software for computation and graphic depictions.
Clinical Research Management
The Clinical Research Management Core enhances clinical research by monitoring the participation process, providing centralized data management oversight, and by working closely with investigators during the development analysis prior to publication. The Clinical Research Management Core is in essence the 'operations office' for all clinical trials conducted by VCC investigators.
Molecular Methods
The Molecular Methods Core is designed to centralize efforts to develop and extend expertise in cell and molecular techniques and thereby enhance the research power of VCC investigators. The goals of the facility are to explore and take full advantage of the capabilities of several new instruments available to VCC investigators and to help design and implement new approaches toward current research goals.
Department of Biochemistry
Facilities and Resources of the Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine, (UVM).
Protein Core Facility
UVM Protein Core Facility is located in Given Building B415. They currently provide custom made peptides and a limited mass spectrometry service.
