Modern cancer research relies on expensive instruments and specialized expertise, from gene sequencing to flow cytometry to statistical analysis, that no single lab can maintain on its own. Shared resources, often called core facilities, pool these tools and services so that many investigators can use them.

What they work on
- Establish, evaluate, maintain and expand Sylvester's shared research facilities, including Onco-Genomics, Flow Cytometry, Cancer Modeling and Biospecimen services, through continuous review of usage, operations, finances and impact.
- Ensure the shared facilities deliver high-quality services that promote research rigor and reproducibility, guided by member feedback and faculty advisory committees.
- Bring emerging technologies and new integrated multi-facility services into the cancer center, including expanded management and analysis of large-scale datasets.
- Support education and training of cancer center members, trainees and staff through seminars and workshops on using shared facility instruments and services.
More about the research
How well these facilities are run shapes how much research a cancer center can do and how reliable it is.
Why it matters
Well-run shared facilities give cancer researchers affordable access to genomics, flow cytometry, cancer models, biospecimens, statistics and community-based research support. Strong management of these resources could speed cancer studies, improve their rigor and reproducibility, and help research address the needs of the population the cancer center serves.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
