Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC)
Core Director: Lester Kobzik
The IHSFC provides one-stop shopping for the laboratory services needed to support studies from "Populations to Pathways." Essential core services and instrumentation are provided, as well as financial resources to access the much wider range of laboratory resources available at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Harvard Medical Area and nearby sister institutions. The objective is to provide access to the best, leading-edge laboratory services in the most cost effective manner to Center members.
The Integrated Health Science Facility Core is composed of three facility services:
 |
Biological Analysis Service | |
 |
Environmental Genomics Service Facility | |
 |
Exposure and Environmental Analysis Service |
Environmental Statistics & Bioinformatics Core
Core Director: Brent Coull
The Environmental Statistics and Bioinformatics Core provides Center investigators intellectual leadership and assistance with quantitative aspects of environmental health science research. Services include state-of-the-art statistical and bioinformatics support, as well as expertise in related quantitative areas such as environmental epidemiology and statistical genetics, and guidance on data management and computational issues. The core also maintains a state-of-the-art GIS facility and provides expertise in spatial methods for health research.
