Bioinformatics always played a central role in the HPCf plans, and in 2001 the Bioinformatics Resource Core (BiRC) was established with support from NCRR BRIN (now PR-INBRE) program.

STCE

The STCE Core establishes a working communication network between INBRE PUIs and graduate-level mentoring institutions, the PR-IFS and pharmaceutical industry representatives in Puerto Rico.

CRI

The CRI cores impact the development of the INBRE network by supporting further integration with existing as well as newly created infrastructure at mentoring institutions and other affiliated institutions and programs.

SERVICES

ChEMTox

The ChEMTox Biotesting Facility at Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) affiliated to the School of Environmental Affairs provides services for the toxicity testing of novel and natural substances on human or animal cell cultures.

Metabolomics

The MRC offers scientific and technical support via metabolomics service, scientific seminars and training workshops for students and researchers in Puerto Rico.

Proteomics

The Translational Proteomics Center provides training, resources, and tools for new and established investigators seeking to use innovative approaches of proteomics to their research.

Genomics

The long-term goal of the Center for Genomics in Health Disparities and Rare Diseases (CGHDRD) is to provide the critical environment that will enable high quality translational and biomedical research in pharmacogenomics, human genetics and genomics, molecular biology.

Sequencing and Genotyping

The main goal of the Sequencing and Genotyping Facilty (SGF) is to provide researchers, students and faculty from Puerto Rico and the Caribbean access to state-of-the-art equipment, technology and technicians who are committed to helping investigators produce the highest quality data.
