The BWH Emergency Medicine Research Core provides research investigators with assistance in the implementation of clinical research studies, especially in the emergency department. This includes general research coordination (screening, consenting, performing study procedures, data entry), project management (IRB and regulatory documents maintenance), basic data service (REDCap development and maintenance, data entry). We can also provide Qualified Bilingual research staff who can interact with Spanish-speaking research participants).
This core provides frozen fecal material for transplantation for treatment of recurrent colitis, especially C. difficile colitis.
The HSDRC provides access to fresh and banked human skin specimens and cutting edge techniques for analysis of human skin including CyTOF mass cytometry, multiplex immunofluorescence microscopy, T cell receptor sequencing, and NanoString gene expression analysis.
Breaking down barriers to translational research is the key to finding new approaches to inflammatory arthritis in adults and children.
The Core provides site-related services for multi-site research under the oversight of the Mass General Brigham IRB.
The mission of the Mass General Brigham Research Assay Core Laboratory is to provide a comprehensive menu of state-of-the-art high-quality research assays to the Partners and non-Partners research communities at competitive costs. The BRAC Laboratory is a dynamic entity seeking to meet the needs of its investigators with new and relevant technologies, and evolving research support. We are CLIA certified and accredited by the Joint Commission.
The core maintains 60+ gnotobiotic/germ free isolators for housing of mice under germfree conditions, and biohazard levels 1 and 2 for specifically-associated mice. In-house bred germfree mice are also available to investigators for experiments. In addition the core maintains a 700-cage containment system for idefinite housing of BL1 or BL2 conventional mice with complex flora, and short term gnotobiotic or defined-colonization experiments. Microbiologically, the core maintains an extensive repository of human and animal commensal isolates and BL-2 pathogens for use in specific-associations as well as for in vitro studies. Experienced microbiologists routinely cultures primary samples from humans and/or animals to study complex samples using culture and/or sequencing-based methods. Aerobic and anaerobic incubators are available to culture bacterial species. As well as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) analyses. Molecular support includes DNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, next-generation sequencing-based methods for 16S rRNA gene phylotyping and bacterial genome sequencing. Bioinformatic analyses/support is available for the samples processed at the MHMC.
The Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (LMM) is a CLIA-certified molecular diagnostic laboratory, operated by Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine.Ê
