Basic Sciences Core

The mission of the Basic Sciences Core is to provide state-of-the art services and training in relevant methods and techniques used by HIV laboratory investigators including virologic, molecular, immunological, imaging and next generation sequencing. 

The Core provides training through individual-level technical support and larger CFAR-wide events. These include the hands-on Core service laboratory “open house” series and the annual Core Service Providers Research Day. Recordings are available for these virtual events.
