Vanderbilt Microarray Shared Resource

The Vanderbilt Microarray Shared Resource offers comprehensive microarray services on a number of technology platforms including Affymetrix, Agilent, and NimbleGen arrays. We are dedicated to providing high-quality arrays, service and support to the scientific community at Vanderbilt University and beyond. Non-microarray services include the maintenance and distribution of lentiviral shRNA clones and real-time PCR verification using the ABI 7900HT.

The VMSR was founded in 1999 through the generous contributions of the Kleberg Foundation, the TJ Martell Foundation and the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center. After several significant expansions, the VMSR now employs 8 full time staff members and processes over 12,000 microarrays per year. Over 150 laboratories from Vanderbilt and collaborative institutions around the world have utilized the VMSR since January 2001.

The VMSR is primarily supported by the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, the Vanderbilt Digestive Disease Research Center, and the Vanderbilt Vision Research Center. The generous support of these centers has allowed the VMSR to continually adopt the most up-to-date methods and technologies available, ensuring all investigators have access to comprehensive and state of the art gene expression and bioinformatic services in the VMSR.

Because of extreme demand, the VMSR may not be able to meet our standard two-week turnaround time. Please contact us for more information
