Data Science Core

The mission of the Data Science Core (DSC) of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center (USC Norris) is to provide integrated state-of-the-art biostatistics and informatics support to USC Norris investigators working on all aspects of cancer research from basic science to translational and clinical studies, and cancer etiology to cancer control. The Data Science Core members work with USC Norris investigators on the planning, design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of cancer research studies. Core members also play a key role in clinical trials protocol review and study monitoring at USC Norris.

The Research Center for Liver Disease Cell Separation and Culture(CSC) core

The combined Cell Separation and Culture Core provides two major types of services: 1) cell separation to allow functional analysis of different cell types; and 2) isolation and culture of primary hepatocytes from normal and diseased rodents. Some of the additional services they provide include: 1) 4-8 parameter flow cytometric analyses by BD FACSCalibur and BD FACSVerse cell analyzers; 2) Positive or negative cell separation by Miltenyi AutoMACS Pro instrument. This Core is only open to the Research Center for Liver Disease members.
