Scientific Communications & Technical Information Services

This Core has been designed to achieve two main objectives:

1. to promote effective collegial communications within our MRDDRC,  among our local and national colleagues, and with individuals with special-purpose technical expertise that may be necessary to instrument, conduct, and interpret the results of MRDD-relevant experimentation.
2. to promote the exchange of scientific and science-support technical information, including user education, through information exchange and via provision of direct service that benefits the research of MRDDRC investigators.

Services are provided in the following areas:

• Statistics and Bioinformatics
• Instrumentation & Computer Applications
• Scientific Communications and Training
