The MGH Burn Research Center depends heavily not only on having highly-qualified scientists with long experience in their respective fields, but also on having state-of-the-art equipment in highly-specialized laboratories. The Massachusetts General Hospital is fortunate to be a world leader in laboratory facilities and in its collaborations with Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Shriners Hospital in Boston.

Each principal investigator has individual laboratory facilities where the major portions of his or her work are performed. These laboratories are well equipped for routine as well as specialized experimental work.

Although much of the major equipment is located in individual laboratories, the long-term and close association of the Center investigators allows the investigators to take advantage of unique or highly specialized equipment as it becomes available at the collaborating institutions. This organizational synergy in sharing resources is exemplified in many ways.

For example, a superb shared-use facility of state-of-the-art mass spectroscopy equipment housed in the Shriners Hospital and MIT has been developed over the past 2 decades. Another example includes the NMR, PET and statistical consultation facilities developed through substantial investments by the MGH, NIH and Shriners Hospital.

The Mass and NMR Spectroscopy Facilities, and the PET and μPET Core Facility are core facilities that are funded, in part, under the MGH Burn Research Center program.
