The first General Clinical Research Center outpatient clinic at UCI consists of approximately 4500 square feet of space at the UCI Medical Center in Orange, California. The physical Center includes:
- A participant waiting room, front office reception, nurses' station, four exam rooms, a DEXA scanning room, administrative offices and a conference room.
- A 450-square foot Specialized Human Performance Laboratory in which protocols utilizing cardiovascular components measurement, electromyogram analysis, exercise testing, functional electrical stimulation, metabolic component measurements, muscle biology, muscle imaging, muscle mechanics, and pulmonary function testing can be carried out in a safe and efficient setting.
- A Bionutrition Research Unit capable of preparing study-specific meals and snacks for both inpatient and outpatients studies. Additionally, the Bionutrition Research Unit provides invaluable resources to investigators by facilitating body composition studies (e.g. skinfold measurements, waist-to-hip ratio, DEXA, and BMI), biochemical analysis (e.g. nitrogen balance, indirect calorimetry, protein turnover), and other services such as nutrition assessment, calorie count, food records and dietary instruction.
- The GCRC Sample Preparation Laboratory handles service requests that include, but are not limited to, specimen aliquoting, reagent preparation, sample storage (short- and long-term), and sample packaging and shipment.
- Additionally, two network-linked PCs are available to investigators for their use, storage space is available to investigators to store study-specific supplies, and a conference room is made available for study meetings.
