Explore Joslin Funded Cores
Advanced Microscopy Core
Tissue morphology and knowledge of the localization of specific proteins within a cell are integral to understanding cellular metabolism, the causes and consequences of diabetes, and new advances for the treatment of diabetes.
Bioinformatics & Biostatistics
The Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core at Joslin Diabetes Center offers support for data-driven projects related to basic, clinical, and translational research, with a particular emphasis on diabetes. The core aims to ensure that researchers take advantage of the most modern and robust methods available in the field of bioinformatics and biostatistics.
Islet Isolation Core
The objective of the Islet Isolation Core is to provide isolated Islets of Langerhans from rats and mice for investigators. Thanks to years of experience, the Core can predictably provide islets that are high in quantity, quality and purity.
Explore Our DRC Cores
When it comes to diabetes, Joslin is a research powerhouse. Our NIH/NIDDK funded cores provide critical services to keep our research initiatives moving forward.
Animal Physiology
The purpose of the Animal Physiology Core is to provide technically advanced physiological evaluation of metabolism in diabetes, obesity, and the associated complications in rodents for Joslin Diabetes Research Center investigators and outside users.
Clinical Translational Research Core
The Joslin Clinical Translational Research Center offers a safe, comfortable, and effective environment to conduct outpatient clinical research studies.
Flow Cytometry
The Joslin Flow Cytometry Core provides reliable and affordable cell sorting and flow cytometry services to its users so that they can isolate, analyze, and study cells that increase our understanding of diabetes and its complications, and ultimately, develop treatments and cures for these diseases.
Genome Editing Core
The Genome Editing Core (GEC) provides investigators with resources to manipulate the genome of human cell lines and laboratory mice with the aim of studying the genetics underlying diabetes and its complications.
Molecular Phenotyping & Genotyping
The objective of the Molecular Phenotyping and Genotyping Core is to support Joslin and external investigators in the study of molecular mechanisms of disease by providing equipment, expertise, and services in molecular phenotyping.
