Mission
Our mission is to provide a broad array of services, instrumentation, support, education, and consultation to clinicians and basic scientists, especially in the area of translational research.
We aspire to…
…the right answer, the first time, with the least variability.
DartLab offers comprehensive immunology services for human and mouse studies, including:
• Advanced flow cytometry and cell sorting
• Immunological assays (phenotyping, lymphoproliferation, ELISPOT, and cytokine analysis)
• Expert consultation for study design, analysis, and interpretation
• Training programs and flow cytometry education
• Quality-controlled clinical trial endpoint assays for pharmaceutical companies
Our facility maintains rigorous quality control standards and provides both supervised services and self-service options for researchers.
About Us
The Flow Cytometry Laboratory was established as a service core in Dartmouth Medical School in 1981 and became a Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC) core in 1998. The Immune Monitoring Laboratory was established by Dr. Jacqueline Channon Smith in 2002 with funds obtained by Drs. Lloyd Kasper and Randy Noelle, together with COBRE and Cancer Center funds, specifically to carry out correlative immunological endpoint assays for clinical trials, in addition to basic immunology research at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC).
In 2010 the two laboratories were combined under the direction of Dr. Channon Smith. The consolidated Shared Resource moves beyond the simple provisioning of technical services to making complex experiments possible by providing scientific and technological support for implementing advanced, high-complexity assays in a cost-effective way, and by providing a mechanism for the acquisition of new methodologies. This Shared Resource is unique, not only at Dartmouth, but also regionally.
