Led by Drs. Tania Q. Vu and Joanna Pucilowska, the Functional Phenotyping (FP) core is responsible for supporting the ARTnet project by standardizing, optimizing, and implementing advanced molecular and functional assays. It will oversee the governance and integration of all data from these assays, ensuring that the project’s multidisciplinary approach yields meaningful, cross-comparable data.

The specific aims of the FP core are to:

1.

Optimize standard operating procedures and provide oversight for the processing, tracking, and dissemination of biospecimens from AML patients;

2.

Work with all ARTnet leaders and researchers to develop and execute SOPs for functional genomic platforms to facilitate standardized data acquisition and analysis;

3.

Serve as data stewards with regard to governance, security, storage, management, standards, integration, and dissemination to support intra- and inter-Center analyses and modeling

To achieve these aims, the FP core will establish SOP-driven workflows with clear milestones and quality checks, focusing on quality assurance and troubleshooting. Ultimately, the FP core will ensure the project’s success by serving as a resource for all researchers involved.
