Collaboration

  • Center For Cardiovascular Research (CCR)

    • Provides novel mechanistic insights into cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, and to discover mechanisms of disease that will lead to the development of innovative new therapies to improve the lives of individuals with cardiovascular diseases.​

  • McDonnell Genome Institute (MGI)

    • The Elizabeth H. and James S. McDonnell III Genome Institute provides comprehensive genetic services, including bioinformatics, sequencing, clinical services, and technical development in support of the scientific community at Washington University. 

  • Leducq Foundation

    • The Leducq Foundation is an international charitable organization funding collaborative research in cardiovascular disease and stroke through the Transatlantic Networks of Excellence. The network provides funding and international collaboration that promotes innovation and discovery in the area of  ischemic and fibrotic mechanisms of myocardial remodeling and heart failure progression. 

  • Genome Technology Access Center (GTAC)

    • Provides cutting-edge and cost effective sequencing and analysis technologies to local colleagues and external investigators.  GTAC offers comprehensive Nextgen sequencing, Microarray, PCR and Bioinformatic services. 

  • High-Throughput Screening Center (HTSC)

    •  Provides plate-based assay services, screening resources, expertise, automation along with both siRNA and small-molecule compound libraries suitable for cell-based and biochemical assays. Experienced personnel work in partnership with researchers to develop and/or automate assay procedures for just a few plates through full-scale HTS.

  • Molecular Imaging Center

    • Molecular Imaging Center (MIC) provides state-of-the-art bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging for Washington University and the research community. We provide a technically qualified team to support any molecular and optical imaging needs.

  • Core Lab for Clinical Studies

    • Core Lab extended its services, becoming a general CLIA-certified laboratory and it now acts as a central lab for a variety of local and multicenter clinical trials.  It supports outpatient offices in the Center for Advanced Medicine at Washington University and also research done in the Washington University Diabetes Research Center (DRC) and the Washington University Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences (formerly GCRC).

  • Genome Engineering and IPSC Center (GEiC)

    •  These two Centers were established to facilitate functional genomic studies through the use of patient-derived iPSCs and the generation of modified cells and organisms using genome editing technologies.

  • Center for Cellular Imaging (WUCCI)

    • Provides reliable and affordable access to state-of-the-art cellular imaging technologies, provide professional guidance in experimental design, sample preparation and data analysis, develop and apply new imaging technologies and work collaboratively with Wash U researchers to advance our understanding of human health and disease.

  • Mouse Cardiovascular Phenotyping Core (MCPC)

    • Provides a focused, systematic approach to the study of the basal physiology and pathophysiology of the mouse cardiovascular system and assists with the development of phenotypic variance in mice that allow investigators to begin projects with knowledge of the expected physiology and functional consequences in a variety of mouse strains.
