The WVUHSC supports research in many ways, including an on-site library and through support for core facilities. The Health Sciences Center Library exists on the second floor of the WVUHSC and is in close proximity to the investigators. The WVUHSC has an extensive library collection with interlibrary loans available for free to all faculty and students. In addition, the basic and clinical science departments each have their own library of current journals pertinent to that department's interest, many of which supplement our WVUHSC library holdings.
Several well-equipped core facilities are also in place to support basic research, including a proteomics and mass spectrometry core, light and confocal microscopy facility (with microinjection capabilities), electron microscopy center, animal quarters and transgenic animal facility, computational chemistry core, pathology and histology core and a recombinant DNA core facility. Each of these facilities are housed in the WVUHSC and are available on a charge basis. In addition, each of the basic science departments in the WVUHSC have centralized common equipment rooms that are dedicated to supporting that departments research needs, such as scintillation counters, super-speed and ultra-centrifuges with a variety of rotor types, sonicators, FPLC, HPLC, mass spectrometry, airfuges and other shared equipment, which can be used free of charge.
Each of the following core facilities are housed in the WVUHSC and are operated on a charge basis with a designated individual to run the day to day operations. These facilities have both user and service options.
