Shared Resources

The Analytical Cytometry Core facility provides high-quality flow cytometry instrumentation, as well as expertise in analyzing and sorting sample populations of interest via interpretation of their physical, fluorescent and light-scattering properties. The facility and its services are available to both City of Hope and non-City of Hope researchers.

The Analytical Pharmacology Core facility focuses on conducting pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies for both chemotherapy clinical trials and peer-reviewed preclinical studies.

The Biostatistics and Mathematical Oncology Core facility draws upon a talented group of statisticians who collaborate across basic, translational, clinical and population-oriented research at the City of Hope's Comprehensive Cancer Center.

DDSB (DNA/RNA Synthesis, High Throughput Screening, Synthetic and Biopolymer Chemistry and X-ray Crystallography) technically and scientifically facilitates research into more effective and less toxic new therapies for cancer treatment.

The GMP Manufacturing Shared Resource at City of Hope offers both biological and chemical GMP manufacturing capabilities

The Integrative Genomics and Bioinformatics Core (IGBC) combines the expertise and instrumentation of two National Cancer Institute-supported facilities — the Functional Genomics/Genomic Sequencing Core and the Bioinformatics Core — to provide an integrated array of services for genomics and informatics.

Formerly Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics, the Integrated Mass Spectrometry Core provides high-quality mass spectrometric analysis of biomolecules — proteins, glycoproteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, nucleic acids, lipids and small-molecule metabolites — for a variety of biomedical investigations.

Our Light Microscopy/Digital Imaging Core is providing services, facilities and expertise to City of Hope investigators needing high-quality light microscope images.

The Population Facing Research (PFR) Core supports research in population science to provide insight into multilevel and complex scales of cancer from analytes to social determinants of health.

Formerly Pathology Research Services, the Research Pathology Core supports pathology studies and comprises three distinct laboratories (Solid Tumor/Research Histology, Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics) and the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center Biorepository.

The Small Animal Studies (SASC) Core combines the resources available through the previously reviewed Small Animal Imaging Core with a new Animal Tumor Models component.

The Comprehensive Metabolic Phenotyping Core is comprised of expert staff and state-of-the-art equipment to perform a cadre of metabolic tests for both internal and external investigators in both academia and industry.

The design and fabrication laboratory was established in 1970 as part of Biomedical Instrumentation Services Department and provides design and fabrication services.

City of Hope’s Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy Core is allowing researchers to take sharper, closer looks at the building blocks of biological life.

The Gene Editing and Viral Vector Core will develop gene editing tools for manipulating mammalian genomes and deliver these tools into cells using viral vectors.

The Immuno-Oncology (I-O) Core works directly with clinical investigators to design, execute, and analyze correlative studies to gain mechanistic insights into immuno-oncology clinical trials.

The COH Stem Cell Core Facility aims to accelerate stem cell research at COH by providing critical stem cell resource and technical support. We will provide customized service for disease-specific human iPSC derivation, characterization, and genetic correction.
