Shared Resources
Accelerate Scientific Discovery Through Expert-Driven Shared Resources.
The NCI-designated Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center brings together state-of-the-art instrumentation and experienced staff to provide cost-efficient access to shared resources for researchers across the University of Nebraska Medical Center and beyond. The Shared Resources serve all Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center members across the University of Nebraska System.New to the Shared Resources?
Start with a free consultation. Whether you're planning a project that spans multiple shared resources or simply want to know what is available, we'll connect you with the relevant shared resource directors to map out how they can support your work. Consultations are available to all faculty, research staff and students, at any stage of a project.
Request a consultation through UNMC Stratocore PPMS.
Shared Resources
Advanced Microscopy
See your samples at every scale, from structures inside a single cell to whole intact tissues in three dimensions and living animals imaged over time.
Data Science
Get statistical and computational expertise across the research lifecycle, from study design through analysis of large datasets like sequencing, single-cell and spatial data.
Pathology
Access patient-donated tissue and blood samples, and the histology, immunohistochemistry and digital imaging services that turn them into publication-ready data.
Pricing Benefits
Subsidized pricing is available to Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center members. If you haven't received an email about subsidized pricing, please get in touch with cancer center administration to see if you qualify.

Selected Publications:
"Ixazomib triggers autophagic degradation of MUC5AC/integrin-β4 and inhibits non-small cell lung cancer progression"
The study, supported by Advanced Microscopy, Flow Cytometry and Pathology Shared Resources, aimed to improve the effectiveness of current treatments and patient outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer.
"Dordaviprone Maintenance After Allogeneic HCT for High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Neoplasm"
The clinical trial, supported by the Data Sciences and Pathology Shared Resources, evaluated a new agent to help prevent relapse after transplantation in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
"Endogenous promoter G-quadruplexes scaffold apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) to drive gene expression"
The study, supported by Advanced Microscopy, Flow Cytometry and Pathology Shared Resources, aimed to demonstrate how DNA structural elements in the promoters of oncogene drive tumor progression.
