Core facility that provides the following services: DNA extraction from whole blood, saliva, isolated cell pellet, RNA extraction from whole blood with PaxGene tubes, Lymphoblast transformation, Isolation and cryo-preservation of white blood cells. The BioSample Services Facility (BSF) provides sample handling and preparation resources to investigators in the Partners research community. Our goal is to efficiently and effectively process specimens enabling the generation of high quality data via down stream processes. All projects containing subject samples and submitted to the BSF for handling must be IRB approved in advance. All specimens must be entered into our Laboratory Information Management System (GIGPAD) prior to delivery to the BSF. Our staff will work with you to design an implementation plan that would best fit your research needs.

Core facility that provides the following services: Microscope access service, Microscope training service. Confocal and multiphoton are modern fluorescence techniques in microscopy for generating optical sections from live or fixed biological specimens. In general, both techniques employ a point scanning and point detecting design. The confocal microscope achieves point detection by using a confocal pinhole to block off out-of-focus emission from the specimen. The multiphoton microscope, on the other hand, generates intrinsic point emission directly from the in-focus spot, thereby eliminating the need for a confocal pinhole. Subsequent scanning of the entire field of view results in an optical section. Computer reconstruction of serial optical sections, collected at consecutive axial (z) positions, can reveal the spatial localization of cells and tissues (sometime subcellular molecules) in 3D. The ability to see biochemical processes in live cells, in real time, sheds light on the vastly complex molecular world of cells and may allow IDI scientists to identify new targets for drugs that will treat exposure to dangerous toxins and bacteria as well as fight a wide variety of diseases.

The Partners Biorepository for Medical Discovery (PBMD), operated by the Partners HealthCare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine, aims to foster collaborations among investigators, physicians and patients seen at Partners HealthCare institutions. This Partners-wide project is at the forefront of developing the tools needed to expedite the discovery and introduction of new ways to fight disease. As we advance the age of personalized medicine, it is critical that physicians and scientists work with large numbers of patients to advance the delivery of healthcare. The Biorepository provides an opportunity for patients to interact with investigative studies ? safely, securely and privately ? in ways that could have an enormous benefit for us all. The Biorepository continues in a development phase, and is actively working with a number of groups at BWH and MGH who are consenting patients for clinical and translational research studies. Samples are maintained in an institution-wide repository which is a growing resource available to Partners investigators and research groups.

In cooperation with the Data and Clinical Cores at the Layton Center, the Biomarkers and Genetics Core generates and maintains biomarker data for select biomarkers which have established roles in the characterization of subjects with or at risk of dementia. Biological markers of brain aging, dementia risk, and neurodegeneration have the potential to accelerate the identification of disease mechanisms and treatment strategies. Biomarkers may include genes, proteins, or other metabolites, and may be identified in DNA, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or plasma. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype is generated for all research subjects. Sub-groups of subjects have other types of biomarker data. Many subjects have had genome-wide SNP data generated. In order to foster collaborative research as well as expand resources and expertise, samples (DNA, CSF, and plasma) and data are distributed to qualified investigators worldwide. Most of these researchers are pursuing the causes and modifiers of dementia. Data and samples are collected from well characterized research subjects including the healthy elderly and dementia patients.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on December 6th,2022. The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center?s (OADC) Clinical Core program, directed by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, performs longitudinal studies of the natural history of brain aging and Alzheimer''s disease in patients and healthy control volunteers. These studies which are performed through standardized neurological, neuro-psychological, and brain-imaging assessments are carried out in the Alzheimer''s Disease and Memory Assessment Clinics as well as through community-based assessments conducted in the homes of study volunteers. The Layton Center Neuroimaging Lab conducts brain-imaging MRI brain scans to assist in diagnosis of brain disease. Typically, MRI images are taken from three different planes. These planes are known as the coronal plane, sagittal plane and the axial plane. Each series of MRI images is named after the plane from which they were obtained. The Clinical Core?s research is focused on preclinical and early Alzheimer?s disease (AD) yet is also poised to participate in other relevant new research as it arises. The OADC Clinical Core recruits, assesses and follows individuals from population groups at high risk for dementia such as: the healthy ?oldest old?, subjects with family history of AD, and subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Research with underserved populations The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center also maintains two Satellite programs to enhance understanding of underserved populations: The Klamath Exceptional Aging Project (KEAP) is a community-based study of brain aging being conducted in Klamath Falls. The African American Dementia and Aging Project (AADAPt) s a Portland-based cohort of 100 African American seniors.
