The Blais Proteomics Center develops and applies state-of-the-art proteomics, informatics, and related technologies for direct interrogation of protein expression, modification, and function in response to biological perturbation in cell-based models of human cancer and primary tissues. The Blais Proteomics Center serves as a valuable resource to support individual research labs at the Dana-Farber and throughout the surrounding research community. As a key component of Dana-Farber?s Strategic Plan for Research, Blais Proteomics actively participates with other Dana-Farber Strategic Research Centers in large-scale studies, designed to leverage disparate capabilities in pursuit of novel, in-depth, and otherwise unattainable insights into human biology and disease. Consistent with our role as a world-class, center of excellence in proteomics science, members of the Blais Proteomics center contribute to the teaching mission at Harvard Medical School and participate in outreach activities designed to introduce and train young scientists and others who may not otherwise have access to these advanced technologies.

Core facility that provides the following services: Confocal microscopy.

Confocal microscopy offers multiple benefits compared to conventional microscopy, particularly the ability to collect serial, high-resolution optical sections from thick specimens. Multicolor, three-dimensional images can be obtained, providing high-content information from single images. To assist NERCE investigators from throughout the region, NERCE has established a Confocal Microscope Facility at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Funding through the NERCE has procured a state-of-the-art LEICA SP2 AOBS laser scanning confocal microscope, which combines spectrophotometric detection with confocal microscopy. The instrument is located at the BL2+ facility at the Lazare Research Building, at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA. The use of live cell imaging combined with green fluorescent protein (GFP) technology is an exciting methodology with which to study the interactions between infectious agents and living cells. A variety of applications are amenable to confocal microscopy techniques and include: monitoring the localization of proteins in living or fixed cells, monitoring changes in the cellular distribution of proteins, and monitoring changes in the activation status and morphological changes in cells exposed to infectious agents.

Core facility that provides the following services: Electron micrscopy facility access.

The EM Facility is an institutional resource to meet the electron microscopy needs of faculty, staff and students of the Dartmouth College community, including the College, Thayer School of Engineering, the Dartmouth Medical School, and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The instruments are housed in the EM wing of Remsen. Because the facility is intended to provide service to all the campus, yet has limited personnel, a major effort is made to provide training in the use of appropriate instruments to enable users to do their own microscopy. In addition to this training, there will be service assistance available for those unable to spend time on the microscopes, and for processing of biopsy samples from DHMC.

Core facility that provides the following services: Cigarette smoke exposure analysis service.

Our lab is interested in the innate immune system at the mucosal surfaces of the female reproductive and respiratory tracts. A special focus of this work is to determine the effects of cigarette smoke on changes in immune protection. The relationship of cigarette smoke exposure to increased risk of infection is well established, however the mechanisms involved are not. Our research shows that cigarette smoke exposure reduces production of a key antimicrobial chemokine, CCL20. Ongoing research in the lab seeks to determine if similar responses to cigarette smoke exposure underlie increased rates of infection and how cigarette smoke exposure associated infection is linked to the development of cancer. Consulting; training; planning; experimental management assistance. Banked tissue samples available for preliminary studies. Small animal cigarette exposure.

Core facility that provides the following services: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) access. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR or MRI) at Children''s Hospital Boston performs pediatric MRIs in a friendly, child-centered environment designed to make your child''s experience as pleasant as possible. Our dedicated staff has years of experience imaging children and teens. Physicians order MRI studies to rule out or diagnose diseases. The technology produces incredibly detailed pictures of your child''s organs, bones and tissues without using ionizing radiation (X-rays). Instead, it uses strong magnets, radiofrequency waves and powerful computers to generate 2- and 3-dimensional images of a given organ or body part. We use protocols and procedures developed specifically for babies and children, which means age-appropriate care for your child and the best possible images for the radiologist.
