Several institutional cores and facilities led by faculty in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology serve researchers at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere.
Darren J. Baker, Ph.D., M.S. Director
Precision Mouse Engineering Core. This core generates genetically engineered mice to help Mayo Clinic researchers study the molecular genetic basis of human diseases.
David (Chun-Wei) D. Chen, Ph.D. Director
Genetic Screening and Engineering Core. This core specializes in high-throughput functional genetic screening with CRISPR systems.
Georges Mer, Ph.D. Director
Structural Biology Core. This core provides advanced instrumentation and support for the structural characterization of biological macromolecules. A primary focus of the core is single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and microcrystal electron diffraction (microED).
Akhilesh Pandey, M.D., Ph.D. Director
Proteomics Core. This core supports disease-focused proteomics research and biomarker discovery research for the development of diagnostic clinical tests.
Mayo Clinic maintains multiple research core facilities that provide state-of-the-art technology and services to scientists, clinicians and investigators both inside and outside of Mayo Clinic.
