Organization
The Hartwell Center is unique
in integrating high-throughput biotechnology services, bioinformatics
support, and an academic division to provide St. Jude research
programs the best possible research environment.
The Center has evolved over a period of 20 years to
include the range and scope of activities illustrated
in this figure and the navigation menu. The
investment made in these "tools for discovery" have led
to contributions to most research efforts and publications produced
by St. Jude faculty and numerous discoveries impacting the diagnosis,
classification, and treatment of pediatric diseases.
Staffing
The Center currently employees 70 full-time staff members including 20 Ph.D.-level staff scientists and 4 faculty. Recruiting continues with open positions for both faculty and staff.
Fees for Services
The Hartwell Center does not provide services outside St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude investigators do pay nominal fees for our services designed to recover reagent costs only. The facility is supported by ALSAC, Cancer Center Support Grant funds, program project funds, our charge-back system, and a major private donor.
