The Biological Systems Core supports biological and molecular measurement central to CIRCA’s mission, including fluid-based biomarkers of adversity and resilience and other assays aligned with immune, neuroendocrine, gene expression, and epigenetic questions. The core also supports integration of biological data with longitudinal and behavioral measures and provides consultation on study design and analytic strategy.
Data & Biobank Access
CIRCA maintains a well-characterized baseline dataset and associated biobank that are available for approved collaborative research. These resources support secondary data analysis, biomarker discovery, hypothesis generation, and development of preliminary data for external funding.
All requests for data or biospecimen use must be reviewed through CIRCA’s consultation process to ensure scientific alignment, feasibility, and responsible data use.
See the CIRCA consultation request form linked in the section below.
