MindSpec is a nonprofit organization that utilizes innovative bioinformatics strategies to accelerate research on common neurodevelopmental disorders. With our research we hope to foster discovery and development of treatments that alleviate the symptoms of affected individuals. Our core mission at MindSpec is to advance research on neurodevelopmental conditions. Founded in 2006, MindSpec is an independent, non-profit research organization established to facilitate the discovery of a cure for autism. Although the initial focus was autism, we have gradually expanded our scope to other neurological disorders. We develop bioinformatics strategies using current information technology platforms to build disease specific databases. At MindSpec we place a strong emphasis on translational research, that is, closing the gap between basic science discoveries and practical treatments with the potential of benefiting people who have autism. Goals: * Build an integrated, up-to-date, relevant, searchable resource on autism, AutDB. * Build a community of scientists, practitioners, educators, policymakers and people affected by autism to share and disseminate knowledge of autism. * Identify gaps in autism research around the world. * Identify priority areas in autism research based on real-world needs. * Build an autism dictionary and digital information library. * Address cultural differences in treatments for autism, a social disease. * Build knowledge about autism for immediate use.

CRBS is a UCSD organized research unit (ORU) that exists to provide human resources, high technology equipment, and administrative services to researchers engaged in fundamental research on cell structure and function relationships in central nervous system processes, cardiovascular networking, and muscular contraction through multiple scales and modalities. CRBS scientists investigate these processes through invention, refinement, and deployment of sophisticated technologies, especially: - High-powered electron microscopes that reveal three-dimensional cell structures - State-of-the-art X-ray crystallography and magnetic resonance analysis that provide detail on protein structures at high-resolution - Laser-scanning and confocal light microscopes that reveal molecules tagged with fluorescent markers as they traffic within cells and pass transfer signals within and between cells - High performance computing and grid-based integration of distributed data CRBS facilitates an interdisciplinary infrastructure in which people from biology, medicine, chemistry, and physics can work with those from computer science and information technologies in collaborative research. Researchers share interests in the study of complex biological systems at many scales, from the structures of enzymes, proteins, and the body's chemical communications network at atomic and molecular levels, to an organism's physiology, strength, and support at cellular and tissue levels. The CRBS infrastructure integrates resources for high-performance computing, visualization, and database technologies, and the grid-integration of large amounts of archival storage data. The California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal-IT2) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) are collaborators in simulating the activity of biological systems, analyzing the results, and organizing the growing storehouse of biological information. CRBS is an entity evolving as research evolves. It forges interactions with biotechnology and biocomputing companies for technology transfer. Interaction, collaboration, and multiscale research produce new perspectives, reveal fruitful research topics, lead to the development of new technologies and drugs, and train a new generation of researchers in biological systems. Sponsors: CRBS is supported by the University of California at San Diego.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.)
