The USC Research Center for Liver Diseases (RCLD) was originally founded in March 1995 and has been continuously funded by a grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK P30 DK048522) for four consecutive 5-year cycles through 2/21. Dr. Neil Kaplowitz is the interim Director.

The Liver Histology Core provides basic histology services to the members of the Research Center for Liver Disease members. We do processing, sectioning and staining for animal tissues of formalin fixed specimens, which need to be submitted in 70% alcohol. (We can do processing and embedding of such tissues for nonmember investigators, but not sectioning.) We also provide frozen sectioning of animal tissue for our members only.

The USC Center for Peptide and Protein Engineering (CPPE) aims to put USC in a position of undisputed leadership in peptide and protein science by creating functional peptides and proteins as imaging agents, diagnostics and therapies. This core laboratory will be housed in the new Michelson Center for Convergent Biosciences and serve the USC Community to generate new peptide and protein tools. New technology advances in several fields now provide the foundation for high-throughput molecular engineering—creating new peptides and antibody-like proteins that bind specific targets on a genomic scale.
Equipment and services include: A la carte and comprehensive peptide synthesis and purification services for the USC and general community. End-to-end production of peptides includes: assistance in peptide design, Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis, peptide purification, conformation of peptide identity by mass spectrometry, and assessment of purity by reverse-phase HPLC. Peptide synthesis is performed on a Biotage Syro I Multi-Peptide Synthesizer (supported by a grant from the USC Core Instrumentation Fund) at 50 μmol scale up to 20 amino acids. Peptide purification is performed via Biotage reverse-phase flash chromatography and/or reverse-phase HPLC chromatography using Agilent HPLC and LCMS equipment.
