Genetic Technologies

Services previously provided by the Genetic Technologies Core will now be offered through the Protein Core.

Organic Synthesis

The Organic Synthesis core focuses on providing investigators with small, organic molecules that cannot be obtained commercially for their research.

Protein

The Protein Core provides services that include: protein production in bacteria, yeast or insect cells, protein purification, and biophysical characterization of proteins.

Nanobody Production

Through resources provided by the NIGMS, the University of Kentucky’s COBRE Protein Core is now producing single domain antibodies in alpacas for investigators.

DLAR supports the biomedical research community at the University of Kentucky by providing the highest quality veterinary services and humane care and treatment to the animals in our care.

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Center (MRISC) is a service and consultation center supporting basic and clinical research at the University of Kentucky.

The facility provides access to and expertise in a wide range of advanced imaging instrumentation that includes confocal, multiphoton, and super-resolution microscopes. 

The Proteomics Core Facility offers proteomic analysis services to the scientific community on a fee-for-service basis. Our focus is the identification of proteins and peptides and characterization of protein modifications.

Our goals are to conduct reliable and validated mouse behavior tests for investigators at the University of Kentucky, ensure that qualified and trained investigators have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise necessary to perform behavior tests and to provide assistance in the design, implementation, and analysis of behavioral experiments in mice.
