Welcome!
Translational Applications Service Center (TASC) facility is a fee-for-service research laboratory serving the Stanford University scientific community, as well as outside investigators. It offers a variety of analytical services, technical and scientific consulting and training, as well as research equipment, which allow investigators shared access to technologies that support innovative research in translational medicine. By providing centralized oversight and infrastructure for conducting translational research studies, as well as access to high-quality, cost-efficient, state-of-the-art proteomic, molecular and genomic technologies, TASC's overall mission is to serve as a comprehensive resource for accelerating the pace of advances in patient therapy and diagnosis by enhancing basic research in the early stages of translation to the clinical setting.
TASC provides a wide variety of analytical services, including a unique state-of-the art novel proteomics technology, NanoImmunoAssay (NIA), for defining protein signatures and measuring proteomic response to targeted therapies in rare clinical samples. Our facility offers dedicated research staff to facilitate the ability of clinical researchers to employ novel technologies and scientific discoveries at the point of care. Of critical importance, our facility also provides users with initial training and on-site expertise in the proper use of the equipment and procedures to enable collection of meaningful, high quality data. Additionally, TASC offers consulting services to assist in experimental design and data analysis, to take best advantage of the available resources.
We can provide scientific expertise and support for standard and customized assays, from the initial study design to the final interpretation and statistical analysis of experimental data. Our standard services also include clinical sample acquisition, processing and archival for conducting inter-disciplinary translational research applications.

Publication Acknowledgment
As with all Stanford Service Centers, credit must be given to TASC Facility for data that results in a publication. If the work done at TASC produces data resulting in a figure in a publication, you are required to acknowledge TASC in the publication. Further, if TASC staff members provided significant experimental design, data interpretation, or other intellectual contribution (as evaluated by the PI), then it is expected that these individuals will be coauthors on the publication.
Additionally, the NanoPro instrument for NIA assays was obtained via an NIH instrumentation grant and therefore requires proper acknowledgement. Please, acknowledge funding for the instrument from NIH S10 SIG 1S10RR02465901

| Name | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 01. Technical Consulting or Training |
Anyone interested in independent usage of the PeggySue equipment must complete a mandatory 4 hour training session by TASC staff. This is a prerequisite for all independent usage of the NanoPro equipment in the facility. TASC will train any high-volume user wishing to operate the equipment independently ONLY if the project requires using the PeggySue on a regular basis (ie: at least once a week) for more than 3 months. |
