Welcome to the Advanced Analytics Core

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, cytokines, or other biomarkers, the AA Core offers cost-effective access to a wide range of assays and an extensive probe library through a unique cost-sharing model. In addition to molecular analysis, the AA Core now provides services for epithelial organoid and 2D monolayer cultures (EpCultures)—powerful in vitro models for studying the gastrointestinal tract. Developed at UNC, these platforms offer critical physiological relevance but can be costly and technically challenging to implement. By offering optimized protocols, essential reagents, and expert support, the AA Core makes EpCultures more accessible, enabling investigators to integrate these advanced models into their research more easily.
