Affymetrix gene expression system of the Computational Genomics Core during the next funding period.D2. Electrophysiology & Biophysics Core Facility (EBCF)D2.1. Rationale and Mission. Electrophysiological data are often considered the gold standard for demonstratinga causal relationship between ion flux and cell physiology. Generating preliminary data is a daunting prospect,however, for an investigator who lacks the years of training necessary to produce a competent, independentelectrophysiologist. Electrophysiological studies also require a considerable up-front investment inpersonnel and equipment, further discouraging investigators from entering the electrophysiological arena. TheEBCF was established to counterbalance these negative influences and lower the activation energy barrier sufficientlyso as to promote more widespread use of electrophysiological approaches in neuroscience researchlaboratories at Tufts.
