The CGIBD’s Advanced Analytics (AA) Core provides high-quality, quantitative solutions for studying proteins and nucleic acids at the bulk or single-cell level. Whether measuring gene expression or cytokines, the AA core’s favorable pricing and unique cost-sharing model allow investigators access to a wide variety of assays and an extensive probe library for a fraction of their list price.

NEW FOR 2023: Epithelial Organoids and 2D Monolayer “EpCulture” Services:

UNC has pioneered several intestinal and colonic epithelial organoidand 2D monolayer culture platforms in studying the gastrointestinal tract. These platforms (AKA “EpCultures”) are powerful physiologically relevant in vitro models, but they can be expensive to implement due to recombinant growth factor requirements, difficulty in obtaining primary tissues (especially from human donors), and technical challenges for many laboratories. The Advanced Analytics Core is now proud to offer a broad range of services that will make these unique culture methods more accessible to investigators. More information available here.
