Genomics Core
The Genomics Core provides basic gene expression services for Tufts neuroscientists and other investigators. We provide the following instruments in Stearns 207 for nucleic acid and real-time PCR analyses.
Center for Neuroscience Research
The Tufts Center for Neuroscience Research (CNR) was established in 2003 with funding from the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and generous support from Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Medical Center.
The primary goals of the CNR are to support neuroscience research efforts and to promote collaborative interactions among neuroscientists at Tufts University and its affiliated hospitals. The CNR is located within the Tufts University School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience; it provides core research services to Tufts neuroscientists and other investigators. CNR-supported core facilities offer services for biological imaging, nucleic acid quantification, real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and rodent behavioral testing. The operation of CNR core facilities is greatly aided by support from Tufts University School of Medicine.
