Welcome to UNC Research Core Facilities
UNC Research Core Facilities are shared resources which offer a wide range of services to the research community, including cutting edge technologies, high end instrumentation, technical support, and education. Our facilities are committed to enhancing and expanding the collaborative capabilities of research at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Searchable Core Database
This searchable database lists all the cores in alphabetical order.
You can browse the entire list or use the search function to sort the entire listing either by broad categories, specific keywords, contact name, or equipment.
Core listings by Categories
These pages list our core facilities by general areas of focus: animal models, biochemistry, clinical and translational, genomics, imaging, and research support services. The pages include brief profiles of each core, giving an overview of each to assist the investigator identify the appropriate core to contact for their project. Cores by Categories
Core Facilities on PubMed- Image-guided selection of Gd@C-dots as sensitizers to improve radiotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer September 23, 2021CONCLUSIONS: PET offers a simple and straightforward way to study nanoparticle retention in vivo, and the selected pPD-Gd@C-dots hold great potential as an effective radiosensitizer.Xiaofen Ma
- Early Survivorship after Liver Transplantation: A Qualitative Study Identifying Challenges in Recovery From The Patient and Caregiver Perspective September 16, 2021CONCLUSION: Early survivorship after LT within the first six months involves a wide array of physical, emotional and psychological challenges. Patients and caregivers identified what they wish they had known prior to transplant and strategies for recovery, which can inform targeted LT survivorship interventions.Sarah R Lieber
- High MW polyethylene glycol prolongs circulation of pegloticase in mice with anti-PEG antibodies September 5, 2021Pegloticase is an enzyme used to reduce serum uric acid levels in patients with chronic, treatment-refractory gout. Clinically, about 40% of patients develop high titers of anti-PEG antibodies (APA) after initial treatment, which in turn quickly eliminate subsequent doses of pegloticase from the systemic circulation and render the treatment ineffective. We previously found that pre-infusion […]Anne M Talkington
- Risk and resilience for alcohol use disorder revealed in brain functional connectivity September 5, 2021A family history of alcoholism (FH) increases risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD), yet many at-risk individuals never develop alcohol use problems. FH is associated with intermediate levels of risk phenotypes, whereas distinct, compensatory brain changes likely promote resilience. Although several cognitive, behavioral, and personality factors have been associated with AUD, the relative contributions of […]Amanda Elton
- An isotropic EPI database and analytical pipelines for rat brain resting-state fMRI September 3, 2021Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has drastically expanded the scope of brain research by advancing our knowledge about the topologies, dynamics, and interspecies translatability of functional brain networks. Several databases have been developed and shared in accordance with recent key initiatives in the rodent fMRI community to enhance the transparency, reproducibility, and interpretability of […]Sung-Ho Lee
