Our investigative work is made possible by several high-tech research cores at Augusta University. We also access technologies at Emory, Georgia Tech and five other research universities in Georgia through a statewide core exchange – which increases the technological capacity of our scientists several fold.
Augusta University’s core facilities (all fee-for-service assisted) include the following:
Cell Imaging Core
Features four types of microscopy – super-resolution, multiphoton, confocal and digital light.
Flow & Mass Cytometry Core
Is equipped with 8 flow cytometers categorized as analyzer and cell sorter cytometers.
GCC Genomics Core
Features discounted oligonucleotide ordering, fluorescent DNA sequencing, NextGen sequencing, high and low throughput Fluidigm and Life Technologies Real Time PCR and Illumina Bead Station micro-array experiments and analyses.
Electron Microscopy & Histology Core
Offers a variety of specimen preparation services for transmission and scanning electron microscopy, vibratome, paraffin, cryostat and JB-4 sectioning.
Also: the labs of the Immunology Center of Georgia have state-of-the-art technologies that serve as shared resources. We make them available to other researchers – without charging an administrative fee. These shared resources include:
