A university-based research center committed to the scientific study of the causes and human consequences of terrorism in the United States and around the world.
The Center is an open-access facility to all academic and industrial clients. It is designated to bridge and transfer NMR technology between theoretical research and practical application in chemical structure analyses. We provide the latest Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, technology for analytical and research projects for chemical structure elucidation. We also offer training and workshop for educational programs. Service includes product analysis (multi-nuclei detection) for quality and purity controls; advanced multi-dimensional NMR detection for complex compounds. Consultation, research and development for new studies are available.
The facility provides high field NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) instrumentation to support the UMCP research community through measurements of biomolecules, macromolecules and systems of biological interest. The facility provides advanced training opportunities for students and acts as a hub for interdisciplinary collaborations. The facility also provides NMR analysis services for internal and external users.
The Bioprocess Scale-Up Facility (BSF) is the Biotechnology Research and Education Program's modern bioprocessing laboratory dedicated to the development and scale-up of biotechnology products and processes. With over 1000 fermentations conducted since 1998 alone, the BSF has accelerated the R&D of local biotechnology leaders such as Human Genome Sciences, NIH and MedImmune, as well as growing Maryland start-ups such as Martek Biosciences and Digene Corporation.
In November, 2013, the University of Maryland School of Medicine launched (dedicated) the Center for Innovative Biomedical Resources (CIBR), the administrative home for the UMSOM biomedical core resources. CIBR serve(s) as a center of excellence for state-of-the-art technologies, high-tech instrumentation, and expertise that supports biomedical research, clinical practice and health care in the state of Maryland and the region. Renovation of nearly 30,000 square feet of space was accomplished with $7.3 M in funding from an NIH grant (1G20RR030969, Reece, PI), made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Newly renovated space allows physical consolidation of many core facilities in common space, creating a dynamic environment that will enhance and stimulate high impact research through a trans-disciplinary approach. New facilities give faculty greater access to sophisticated instrumentation, as well as highly-trained technical staff who can offer support to faculty on experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and provide training opportunities for graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty within the University and its collaborators.
Established by the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, the Genomics Core provides faculty and students with a centralized resource where users have the opportunity to access automated nucleic acid sequencing and analysis instrumentation, as well as Real-Time PCR (qPCR) technology. The Genomics Core provides researchers with the opportunity to access a 3730xl DNA sequencer (Sanger sequencing) and two Real-Time PCR machines. Services include training on all equipment. Services do not include sample preparation.
The mission of the GLM Wind Tunnel includes the following. The GLMWT team works to advance the level of aerodynamic design of vehicles and other devices by generating appropriate design and development test data. We advance the state of the art in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, and closely related disciplines experimental research. We advance the state of the art in tunnel testing methods including modeling arrangements, instrumentation, and increasing the integration of computational capabilities for rapid data presentation and rapid comparison of results of measurements, analyses, and computational simulations. We contribute to the education of undergraduates and graduate students by engaging them in our laboratory work, and by providing our capabilities to support their research projects. We provide research and development expertise, service, and education to citizens of the area, state, and nation by being available to companies and government agencies, by hosting visitors and engaging in other activities to enhance and broaden the understanding of the influence of aerodynamics in various human activities.
