| The Botanical Research Center consists of three research cores. Together the three cores assist project researchers in their study of botanicals, by providing assistance in study design, creating botanical extracts for use in research, producing animal models for use in studies, and assisting with statistical analyses once data has been collected.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center's John L. McIlhenny Laboratory for Botanical Research is an intergral resource for the cores. Through a grant from the Coypu Foundation, the BRC has built a state-of-the-art laboratory devoted to pre-clinical screening of botanical compounds for potential use in humans.
 |
The Botanical Core facilitates the work of all BRC projects and cores by cultivating plants, isolating bioactives, and producing and studying botanical therapeutics. |
 |
The Integrative Biology Core provides state-of-the-art animal models, in vivo metabolic phenotyping and ex vivo proteomic and metabolomic profiling. |
 |
The Administrative Core oversees the progress of the BRC. The Core provides administrative support to all projects and cores and to expand opportunities for botanical research. |
