The Laboratory Core Services division at the SNPRC is a group of three primary laboratories dedicated to the support of research in immunology, genomics and research imaging.
Research Support Core
The Research Support Core (RSC) supports nonhuman primate research for investigators nationwide by providing the following services.
- Laboratory support
- Luminex technology
- Serological surveillance
Research Imaging
The Research Imaging Core Laboratory (RICL) supports researchers in the development of in-vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission technology (PET) technologies, and applications of these technologies in immunology, infectious disease, cardiology, and neuroscience research.
