I need access to research instrumentation that is too expensive for me as an individual investigator. Does MUSC support shared research resources?
MUSC’s Institutional Research Resources are under the auspices of the Office of the Associate Provost for Research. Designated University Research Resource Facilities (URRF) receive institutional subsidies, and are periodically evaluated and reviewed by a faculty oversight committee. Capabilities and instrumentation include: Biomolecular computing, electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, mono- and polyclonal antibody production, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, nucleic acid analysis, protein sequencing and synthesis, and facilities to create and house transgenic and gene knockout animal models, Shared equipment grants have recently been obtained to establish new facilities for cellular sorting and analysis, and for surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (BIAcore®). Additional research resources are available through the SC Clinical and Translational Research Institute, individual departments, and specialized research and service centers, such as the Hollings Cancer Center or th
