The Power of Partnership means that we bring academic and clinical knowledge and experience to bear for each patient. The University of Maryland School of Medicine, as one of the leading medical schools and research institutions in the nation, is the fertile ground on which the University of Maryland Medical System has grown into a network of clinical leadership. When we say All for One, we include our educational mission, our basic science laboratories, our multidisciplinary collaborations and our advances in clinical technology — all to provide the best care for each patient and foster healthier communities in Maryland and around the world.

CORE LABS SUPPORT a WORLD of RESEARCH

20 • Two innovative shared laboratories — including a world-class brain tissue bank — at the UM School of Medicine keep the faculty on the brink of discovery by enabling every department to conduct research using shared resources.

The Center for Innovative Biomedical Resources (CIBR), directed by Nicholas Ambulos, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, is the organizational Nicholas Ambulos, PhD framework for the School of Medicine’s biomedical core resources. The now-consolidated core labs have carried out experiments for nearly every program in Nicholas Ambulos, PhD, the UM School of Medicine, offering state-of-the-art leads the CIBR, which technologies and expertise to UM researchers. serves nearly every A $7.3 million grant from the National Institutes of program in the UM School Health funded the renovation of nearly 30,000 square of Medicine. feet of space in the Bressler Research Building. The new The CIBR specializes in space allows for the physical consolidation of many eight core categories: core facilities in a common space, creating a dynamic structural biology, clinical environment that promotes high-impact research and resources, nucleic acid the flow of information across disciplines. This open and genomics, animal approach provides the broadest array of core services model resources, and optimizes efficiency to support a successful imaging technologies, biomedical research environment. drug-development Another important shared resource at the UM SOM resources, cytometric and bioassay, and bio- is the University of Maryland Brain and Tissue Bank informatics and statistics. (UMBTB), overseen by Ron Zielke, PhD, professor of pediatrics. The UMBTB collects high-quality post- mortem brain tissue, which is distributed to three NIH institutes to advance research of developmental and neurological disorders. The emotional and physical well- being of those involved in the donation process is of the utmost importance, and every effort is made to fully realize the hopes of all generous donors and their families. Concurrent with strides for the equitable distribution of tissue, special respect is paid to each specific case, furthering research into improved treatments and possible cures for the disorder of the donor. Representing one area of special interest, the UMBTB has collected tissue from donors affected with autism since 1993 and is the only facility that has this type of tissue available for distribution to researchers around the world. Thanks to a 2014 NIH grant that enabled the purchase of a liquid nitrogen freezer, the UMBTB is able to carefully store and closely monitor samples to meet the needs of the research community. As a result of this unique resource, more than 100 autism researchers worldwide have received tissue from the UMBTB, resulting in 145 published papers.
