Overview

The Biological Models and Translational Research Core is part of the Core Laboratories at the Linus Pauling Institute. We are tasked with regulatory compliance, protocol development, protocol execution, and sample collection for human subjects research. Comprehensive sample analysis can be coordinated through the LPI's Analytical Core for analytes and biomarkers of interest. Additionally, samples from clinical trials can be analyzed through Oregon State University's Student Health Services, a CLIA certified facility.
