Description:

Core which provides methodologies, technology and infrastructure to support investigators in the use of human islets for research studies for the Einstein-Mount Sinai Diabetes Research Center. It isolates and prepares human and rodent islets/beta cells and cell lines for investigator-initiated research and generates specific viral vectors (adenovirus and lentivirus) for gene delivery of cDNAs and shRNAs of interest to beta cells and other islet cell types.
