Basic and Translational Science

The BTS core can help you design experimental lab assays for TRAC Pilot Grant applications and awards, as well as other funding applications, both internal and external.

The BTS core is equipped to help train investigators and staff in areas such as biosafety, the collection and handling of MTB cultures, MTB infection in animal models, development and execution of lab assays and design of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

The core can help with the generation of preliminary data for internal or external funding applications, as well as conduct lab assays for funded studies.

The core can store human and animal specimens, as well as MTB strains.  We also manage a biorepository of samples with the goal of allowing Emory/Georgia TRAC investigators to request access to archived samples to create application-generating data.
