Omics and Epigenomics Technologies – Biorepository
About
Submit a Service RequestWe help investigators apply sequencing and multi-omics technologies to study HIV infection, viral reservoirs, immune responses, aging, and host-virus interactions. Areas of support include next-generation sequencing, bulk and single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, methylation profiling, spatial biology, and integrated multi-omics workflows.
Services include study planning, sample preparation, library construction, sequencing workflow coordination, quality assessment, and support with data integration. By combining advanced omics platforms with HIV-specific expertise, we help researchers generate high-quality datasets that reveal mechanisms of HIV persistence and inform new therapeutic strategies.
