From benchtop to core lab: Next-generation research environment priorities

The “heart” of research has shifted from the benchtop to the core lab, and these high-tech cores must now be considered the primary design drivers for new research environments. Jeff Zynda charts the evolution of research programs in the new millennium, the polarization of flexible, generic labs and specialized core facilities, and what those changes mean for near- and long-term research space planning and cost models. He illustrates key success factors to “supercharge” facilities with cores, and delivers planning approaches to maximize core potentials, as well as capital returns.

A hybrid CT / MRI imaging core facility for humans and animal research: First of its kind

Get maximum program value from cutting-edge imaging equipment with a “hybrid” core facility design accommodating multiple programs. That’s the breakthrough solution Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center adopted, and here you’ll get lessons learned on design, construction, and operation on their unique imaging and surgery core. Session leaders illustrate how technical requirements for dual MRI and CT on both human and animal subjects shaped operational flows. They describe the results in terms of space, capital, and staff efficiency and infection control between subjects. They deliver cost analyses, highlight advantages for new image guided procedures, and examine other post occupancy evaluations and previews of future planned equipment upgrades.
