Establishment of a coordinated effort in the form of the Research Support Core maximizes both the research and cost effectiveness of our SRP investigators. This Core is divided into four major components directed by an expert in each area:
1. Systems Biology Component - Directed by Dr. Black
2. Bioinformatics/Biostatistical Analysis Component - Directed by Dr. Stromberg
3. Proteomics Component - Directed by Dr. Zhu
4. Analytical Component - Directed by Dr. Wei
The Specific Aims of the Research Support Core are to provide laboratory and statistical services, equipment, technical support, facilitate access to new technology (particularly in the areas of systems biology, bioinformatics, and proteomics for multiple SRP investigators by:
1) Generation of a central database which will combine diverse data generated by all research projects. This database will provide a uniform platform for computational data analysis, which will be shared among all projects. The systems biology approaches will then be implemented to generate new hypotheses and to create predictive models to better anticipate the effects of nutrition on toxicity of superfund chemicals;
2) Establishing and implementing a variety of state-of-the-art proteomics, bioinformatics, and PCB analysis procedures that are required by all investigators;
3) Providing assistance and consultations for data analysis and experimental design as required by individual investigators of the UK SBRP; and
4) Rigorous quality control of all aspects of the performed research.
