The Center for Administrative Data Research (CADR) serves to provide resources and training in the use of health services administrative data in clinical, epidemiologic, health services, and outcomes research.
Core Facilities
Advanced Imaging and Tissue Analysis Core of the Digestive Disease Research Core Center (DDRCC)
The mission of the WashU DDRCC is to advance research on the pathophysiology of and host-environment interactions in digestive diseases. Tissue imaging and image analysis techniques are essential tools for visualizing the spatial relationships of different cell types, and studying cellular components in the liver and gastrointestinal tract. State-of-the-art histologic, immunohistochemical, tissue imaging and image […]
Airway Epithelial Cell Core
The goal of the core is to provide primary cells and cultured airway epithelial cell preparations from human, mouse and other species for the study of epithelial cells, lung biology and lung diseases. The airway epithelial cell core provides investigators with primary culture preparations of human and mouse airway epithelial cells. We routinely procure human […]
Alafi Neuroimaging Laboratory
The Alafi Neuroimaging Laboratory offers state-of-the-art equipment and software for imaging and scanning, and is open to Hope Center investigators and others.
Anatomic and Molecular Pathology (AMP) Core Labs
The AMP Core Labs is a CAP/CLIA certified and HIPAA compliant resource that provides services in anatomic pathology.
Animal Behavior Core
The Animal Behavior Core (ABC) offers interested investigators a time-efficient, cost-effective opportunity to examine the behavioral consequences of gene mutations as well as assess the effects of specific drugs, experimental manipulations (e.g., neuronal loss), or altered development on behavior in laboratory rodents.
Animal Models of Joint Injury & Disease
The Animal Models of Joint Injury & Disease Core provides integrated resources and services to establish rodent bone and joint disease models to WashU investigators and collaborators. We provide musculoskeletal function, pain and behavior testing including kinematic measures of locomotion and proprioception, weight bearing, grip strength, sensorimotor activity, thermal sensitivity, and more. We offer consultation […]
Biobank Core of the Digestive Disease Research Core Center (DDRCC)
The BioBank core provides specimens (blood, resection and endoscopic biopsy specimens, stool) and clinical data collected from patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
