As far as I can tell, bulk Apollo lunar material is studied by the NASA 
Lunar Science Institute. The guys that do the hands on work are known as the 
Lunar Exploration and Analysis Group or LEAG. One of the scientists doing 
analysis of moon rocks here at the University of Notre Dame uses the new 
multiple-collector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer or MC-ICP-MS 
to determine the mineral composition of lunar impact melts to determine 
their petrogenesis and place constraints on the impactors and target 
lithologies.
