The Metabolomics Program: Provides consultation to basic, clinical, and translational research teams regarding the feasibility, design, and costs of projects using metabolomics technologies (including mass spec and NMR-based metabolomics); Customizes metabolic approaches based on specific research projects/questions: ranging from simple assays to high-throughput approaches such as global metabolic profiling and stable isotope-13C, 15N-labeled on a wide variety of sample types; Provides extensive data analysis and suggest options for subsequent steps towards clinical implementation.   Click here to submit an ICTR Connection Request

The Imaging Translational Technology Core (Imaging TTC) facilitates one-on-one consultation with imaging experts for study design, imaging protocol development and study implementation. The core facilitates integrated use of imaging resources in translational projects and clinical trials and offers research imaging management infrastructure through the Johns Hopkins Medical Image Research Archive Center for research data storage and distribution Imaging also offers CORIS, a one week observership program for anyone interested in radiology. Participants have an opportunity to shadow Katarzyna (Kasia) J. Macura, MD, PhD, FACR, Professor of Radiology, Urology and Oncology. For more information and to schedule a time, contact Atefeh Ameri at … Continue reading →
