What We Do

COR²E is the old Biotechnology/Bioservices Center renamed, transformed, expanded, and just generally better! Fundamentally, we promote and support the growth of research at UConn by serving the University’s world-class research faculty (as well as the rest of the UConn community).

How We Do It

researchers

We manage a growing number of essential and state-of-the-art core research facilities, and provide assistance in the management of many others across the University.

detective

We provide portals (e.g., the site you’re on) into all research resources available to the University community.

partners

We sponsor events/activities that bring faculty together and break down academic silos.

new-programming-student

We build awesome interactive web software.

Dan Schwartz

Director

daniel.schwartz@uconn.edu

In addition to living in [squared labs], sometimes literally, Dan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology & Neurobiology where his lab works on finding patterns in protein sequences. Though his background is in developing experimental and software-based technologies for molecular biologists, since taking the BBC/COR²E directorship position in the summer of 2015, Dan has become extremely passionate about using software, analytics, and cutting-edge research equipment to support and grow research at UConn. Dan also currently serves as the Executive Director of Strategic Analytics and Initiatives in the Office of the Vice President for Research, where he has most recently been involved in building UConn's research and innovation capacity in Stamford.

Jeremy Balsbaugh

Associate Director

jeremy.balsbaugh@uconn.edu

Jeremy has over 15 years of mass spectrometry-based research experience.  Following completion of his dissertation titled "Studies in Protein Post-Translational Modification using CAD and ETD Mass Spectrometry", he joined Natalie Ahn's laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder for a post-doctoral research appointment focused on applying Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry and additional biochemical analysis to study the relationship between structure and function in various enzymes. Jeremy served the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry as Director of the Central Analytical Laboratory and Mass Spectrometry Core Facility from 2014 - early 2017 before joining the research community at UConn.

As a member of COR²E, it is Jeremy's goal to bring his expertise and state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based technologies to the University of Connecticut, UConn Health, and the Connecticut public and private research communities at large.  Contact Jeremy directly for more information on beginning your future project.
