SC CADRE Shared Resources

AGE Analysis

Yaoling Long, Ph.D., Co-Lead
Assistant Professor, Biological & Physical Sciences
South Carolina State University

David P. Turner, Ph.D., Co-Lead
Assistant Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
Medical University of South Carolina

The mission of the Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE) Analysis Shared Resource is to provide a central resource to perform uniform, consistent, and reliable measurements of AGE metabolite levels in a cost-effective manner for all SC CADRE research projects. This new shared resource will also evaluate all of the samples from Blacks with African ancestry in the SC CADRE full and pilot research projects for Sea Island/Gullah ancestry.

Biorepository

Janae Sweeney, Ph.D., Co-Lead
Assistant Professor, Biological & Physical Sciences
Director, Biorepository
South Carolina State University

Steven Carroll, M.D., Ph.D., Co-Lead
Chair, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
Medical University of South Carolina

Brittany Ivey, Ph.D., Co-Investigator
Operations Manager, Biorepository & Tissue Analysis Shared Resource, MUSC Hollings Cancer Center
Medical University of South Carolina

The establishment and implementation of the Biorepository Shared Resource is expected to significantly expand the research capacity of the SC CADRE investigators at South Carolina State University. This will enhance their ability to compete for independent, R01-level funding.

Biostatistics & Quantitative Methods

Joseph Tahsoh, Ph.D., Co-Lead
Associate Professor, Mathematics & Computer Science
South Carolina State University

Alexander V. Alekseyenko, Ph.D., Co-Lead
Professor, Public Health Sciences
Medical University of South Carolina

The Biostatistics and Quantitative Methods Shared Resource will provide biostatistical and bioinformatics support for the initial SC CADRE research projects as well as for subsequent research initiatives led by SC CADRE investigators. This shared resource will also provide ongoing quantitative methods education and training for SC CADRE investigators, undergraduates at SCSU, and junior faculty at SCSU and MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.
