xMAP Intelliflex System for UAGM-Carolina
About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY This is an application for the Instrumentation Grant Program for Resource-Limited Institutions (S10-RLI) to acquire a xMAP Intelliflex System for the Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Carolina campus (UAGM-Carolina), a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI) that offers BS degrees in Biology, Biotechnology and Microbiology and masters in Biomedical Sciences and Industrial Biotechnology. The xMAP Intelliflex System is a flow-based technology that allows for multi-analyte profiling using microspheres as a solid-based surface that can be coupled with proteins, oligonucleotides and other molecules using different methods and chemistries to detect and quantify up to 500 analytes in the same sample. This instrument will enhance the research capabilities of UAGM- Carolina and the training of undergraduate and graduate students in this technology. In addition, it will foster collaborations with other participating institutions and research training programs in Puerto Rico, including other campuses of UAGM and the University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC). Specifically, the xMAP Intelliflex System will support the research projects of investigators from UAGM-Carolina (Dr. Loyda Mendez and Dr. Luis Lopez), UAGM-Cupey (Dr. Jose Rodriguez), UAGM-Gurabo (Dr. Eduardo Tosado) and UPR-MSC (Dr. Nataliya Chorna). In addition, it will support the Biotechnology Techniques (BIOL 395) and the Instrumental Analysis of Biomolecules (CHEM 601) courses through hands-on activities with the x-MAP Intelliflex System; and the research projects of graduate students in the Biomedical Sciences masters at UAGM-Carolina and the Toxicology and Drug Design doctorate program at UAGM-Cupey. Current research projects of major users that will benefit from this instrument includes the neurotoxicological assessment of particle pollution (Dr. Mendez), the development of aptamer-based diagnostics (Dr. Lopez), and the evaluation of the antitumoral and immunomodulatory effects of curcumin nanoparticles (Dr. Rodriguez). Therefore, the acquisition of the xMAP Intelliflex System fulfils the aim of the S10-RLI grant to enhance biomedical research capacity and educational opportunities at under-resourced institutions by providing access to modern and cutting-edge instrumentation.
