All candidates will have access to VCU’s robust research core facilities, including the Tissue Data Acquisition & Analytics Core (TDAAC), which currently collects biospecimens from cancer patients, supports a patient-derived xenograft program, and is expanding its biospecimen collection to other diseases. Additional core resources include, but are not limited to, the Genomics/Next-Generation Sequencing Core, Proteomics Core, Microscopy Core, Flow Cytometry Core, Transgenic Mouse Core, Cancer Mouse Models Core, High-Performance Research Computing Core, and the Lipidomics & Metabolomics Core.
