ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday, September 1st, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
The Metabolic Phenotyping core provides state-of-the-art analytical and phenotypical measures to the scientific community both inside and outside UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Our goal is to expand the scope of techniques available to investigators, standardize key methodologies, and expedite the completion of research on diseases related to metabolic disorders (diabetes and obesity), cancer, aging neurological disorders, etc.
We provide letters of support for grant proposals and research applications, both on and off campus (contact core directors).
Data generated by UT Southwestern Metabolic Phenotyping Core should be acknowledged on manuscripts and grants.
