The
multi-user core research laboratories and facilities and research
support services at Jackson State University (JSU) were established
to provide researchers with the necessary resources including equipment,
technologies, and support functions to enhance research capabilities.
Some
of the facilities were funded by RCMI-Center for Environmental Health
at Jackson State University. The Center initially focused on research
and infrastructure development in the area of environmental health.
Over time, the research center evolved as a “Center for Excellence”
in the integration and application of environmental science concepts,
methods and strategies for conducting interdisciplinary environmental
health research. Research currently focuses on the understanding
of the basic mechanisms by which toxic substances compromise health.
The
Center houses the following six laboratories: 1) Analytical Core
Laboratory, 2) Animal Core Facility, 3) Biostatistical Support Unit,
4) Environmental Toxicology Research Laboratory, 5) Molecular and
Cellular Biology Core Laboratory, and 6) Molecular Magnetic Resonance
Core Laboratory. The Computational Modelling Core Laboratory/Supercomputer
Center, Cellomics and Toxicogenomics Research Laboratory; The Visualization
Core Laboratory, and GIS Remote Core Laboratories are supported
by other grants.
Several support services have played a significant role in our research
productivity. These offices are Sponsored Programs, Facilities Management,
Information Systems, and Visualization Core Laboratory / GIS Remote
Core Laboratories Printing Services.
The
researchers and students, both graduate and undergraduate, are engaged
in cutting edge research in various disciplines which have transformed
the research atmosphere of Jackson State University. We invite you
to use the core facilities in your research endeavors.
