What this research studies
The WVU Flow Cytometry and Single Cell Core Facility offers state-of-the-art instruments and expert assistance to researchers. It supports single-cell barcoding, library generation with 10x Genomics Chromium, and comprehensive data analysis in collaboration with the Genomics and Bioinformatics Cores. The core aims to implement and support TME CoBRE project leaders and pilot projects as they pursue NIH funding, while also offering training to researchers in flow cytometry and single-cell workflows. By integrating sample preparation, analysis, and bioinformatics, it helps translate laboratory findings into deeper understanding of cellular environments and disease processes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, researchers at WVU and collaborators will gain faster access to cutting-edge single-cell tools, accelerating discoveries that could impact cancer biology and other biomedical research.
How similar studies have gone: Similar cores with single-cell and flow cytometry capabilities have enabled high-impact discoveries and NIH funding for translational research.
