ALERT ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Friday, July 4th, 2025.

The overall goal of the epiCURE Skin Immunity, Integrity and Disease (SIND) Core is to provide high-quality, skin-focused, translational research. To help accomplish this goal, the SIND will provide a wide array of unique mouse and human ex vivo models and state-of-the-art techniques to aid epiCURE's investigators' research of normal and diseased skin; this includes assistance with (i) innovative techniques to phenotype skin resident T cell populations and inflammatory response, (ii) molecular profiling and cellular imaging of cutaneous photodamage, (iii) in vivo and ex vivo modeling of Alopecia Areata (AA, a common autoimmune disease), and (iv) high-throughput genetic and chemical screens. The SIND's pre-clinical skin models and service will have particular value in exploring possible drug repurposing and testing therapeutic agents.
