Core makes available to Diabetes Research Center investigators variety of high quality radio-immunoassay, ELISA, and other analytical methods, and facilitates access of DRC investigators to measurement of small molecules by targeted and untargeted metabolomics/lipidomics with the Irving Institute Biomarkers Core. TBAC also provides consultations and services for in vivo methods to measure insulin secretion and sensitivity.

Core which assists investigators to quantify and phenotypically characterize cell populations that contribute to the metabolic, immunologic and developmental programs of diabetes and its complications; and to purify populations of cells of relevance to diabetes and its complications.

Core that provides services that facilitate the efficient characterization of mouse models of diabetes and its complications: NMR Body Composition Analysis, Whole Body Metabolic Assessment (chamber calorimetry with motion detection), Metabolic Clamps, Gastric Infusion/Feeding and Thermogenic Phenotyping.

Core that provides spectrum of advanced cellular and tissue pathology and imaging services for diabetes researchers at Columbia University. It also has microscopy equipment and services such as confocal, live 2-photon and scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

RARAF is dedicated to providing user-friendly radiation sources and bio-labs for research in biology, radiation biology, and radiation physics.

The Confocal and Specialized Microscopy Shared Resource provides advanced microscope systems for multidimensional optical imaging of living and fixed cells and tissues.
The facility offers a range of state-of-the-art microscopy technologies, including confocal, super-resolution (SIM and STORM), and wide-field microscopy as well as laser capture and microirradiation.
We also offer software and support for image processing, analysis, and presentation.

The focus of the Comparative Proteomics Center is the identification of proteins with differential occurrence in cells, tissues or in affinity purifications. We use two complementary techniques to compare different proteomes. The first is label-free shotgun protein profiling. Another technique called difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE)is also used. We are always interested in doing collaborative projects with research groups at other institutions. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
