The WVU HSC 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 at WVU. The core facilities are generally operated on a charge basis with a designated individual to run the day to day operations. These facilities have both user and service options. In addition, each of the basic science departments and the interdisciplinary research centers in the WVU HSC have centralized common equipment rooms that are dedicated to supporting the faculty’s research needs, with equipment such as scintillation counters, super-speed and ultra-centrifuges with a variety of rotor types, sonicators, FPLC, HPLC and mass spectrometry, which can be used free of charge.
