The Molecular Biology Core Facility is a full-service, CLIA-certified genomics laboratory located in the James G. Cannon Research Center at Carolinas Medical Center (CMC), part of Carolinas HealthCare System. The Facility participates in and contributes to system-wide and regional research by performing various molecular biology techniques applied to different areas of health-related research. Projects are conducted as part of independent faculty research as well as resident research done as a component of the residency training program.
The Facility offers various levels of service, including performing for or consulting with individual investigators to implement standard experimental design and sample preparation protocols, as well as assistance with post-run data analysis and interpretation. The Facility has been serving the Charlotte Genomic Consortium in collaboration with UNC-Charlotte faculty, and has been the central location for a clinical study-related repository for various departments within our organization.
