Canary Center at Stanford Shared Resource Facilities
Cell / Molecular Biology (CMB) Resource Facility
The Cell and Molecular Biology Shared Resource Facility (CMB Resource) at the Canary Center facilitates the development of tools for early diagnosis of cancers. The CMB Resource is well equipped for developing molecular imaging probes. Specifically, this resource develops and characterizes antibody and ligand-based probes for targeted molecular imaging thus aiding faculty, scientists and students at the Center who focus on developing highly sensitive multifunctional optical, PET and MRI probes for imaging cancers by targeting cancer-specific cellular targets.
Chemistry Resource Facility
The Chemistry Shared Resource Facility (Chemistry Resource) at the Canary Center provides analytical and synthetic chemistry support to the Center’s scientists. The Chemistry Resource provides equipment and instrumentation to facilitate the synthesis, analysis and characterization of both small and large biologically significant molecules.
Proteomics Resource Facility
The Proteomics Shared Resource Facility (Proteomics Resource) associated with the Canary Center is a shared resource that supports Canary Center Members, Associate Members, and Canary Foundation Science Teams. The facility supports the mission of the Center to foster research leading to the development of blood tests and molecular imaging approaches to detect and localize early cancers.
Preclinical Imaging Core Facility
The mission of the preclinical imaging facility is to develop infrastructure, expertise and tools to support customized in vivo imaging as well as image and data analysis for direct use by the basic, clinical and translational researchers located at Porter Drive and/or nearby Stanford Labs. As a shared resource facility within the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection, the core also supports Canary Center Members, Associate Members, and Canary Foundation Science Teams.
