Shared Resources for Cancer
The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Shared Resources provide management and support services to the researchers and programs of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. These services are essential to support the groundbreaking research conducted by our investigators. We have core facilities in the following areas
Advanced Multiscale Microscopy
The Advanced Multiscale Microscopy Shared Resource delivers access to cutting-edge imaging instrumentation and comprehensive technical support for tissue, cellular, subcellular and molecular imaging.
Biofluid Proteomics
The Knight Protein Target Identification (KPTI) Service Center combines an automated Seer Proteograph workflow with high-sensitivity mass spectrometry for rapid, deep and unbiased proteomic profiling. Our platform supports serum, plasma, other biofluids and fluidized tissue specimens. While the KPTI is part of OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, our services are available to other academic and industry clients inside and outside OHSU for any appropriate research area. Learn more
BioLibrary & Pathology
The Knight Cancer Institute sponsored BioLibrary & Pathology Shared Resource brings together tissue collection, processing, clinical annotation, and histopathology services into a single core.
Cancer Data Science
We empower rigorous, reproducible research by providing data science services in statistics, advanced analytics, bioinformatics, and qualitative methods. We partner directly with basic, clinical, and population science researchers driving cancer care and discovery at OHSU.
