Customizes technologies to meet individual project needs, including specialized expertise in use clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) systems and other approaches for direct genome editing in vivo.Services include CRISPR/Cas9,proprietary rapid strain-creation method known as EZ-Mouse Model, tetraploid complementation systems, GEMMs-ESC Speedy Models, regulated gene expression by high-throughput RNA interference assay in mice, safe-harbor knock-in gene editing using Rosa26 and other loci, recombinase-mediated cassette exchange, Inducible Tet-On and Tet-Off Gene Expression Systems, homologous recombination, induced pluripotent stem cells, assisted reproductive technologies, and vitrification systems,production of transgenic mice by pronuclear injection of plasmid DNA or bacterial artificial chromosome DNA and the production of ESC chimeras by blastocyst injection. Production of fully ESC-derived mice by tetraploid complementation, including following, isolating, and manipulating novel ESC lines from existing mouse strains.Offers sperm and embryo cryopreservation and storage technologies for strain preservation and recovery. Highly efficient in vitro fertilization technologies using fresh or cryopreserved sperm are available, facilitating import of novel mouse strains without quarantine and recovery of poorly breeding strains.Offers traditional embryo rederivation technologies for animal import into barrier vivaria through quarantine.

Shared instrumentation facility at the American Museum of Natural History with tools for X-ray tomography, electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, light microscopy and image analysis. Provides expert assistance in the use of all lab equipment.

The Center for Translational Pathology (CTP) will provide investigators with high quality, state of the art, and cost-effective tissue-based and clinical laboratory assays, biospecimens, consultative pathology services, multiparametric imaging, mass spectrometry, molecular pathology, mouse models and advanced cellular therapeutics for basic, translational, and clinical research. Originally established in 2007 as the Translational Research Program (TRP) within the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, the TRP has since grown and expanded to include numerous core facilities within the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. This new center will be a pillar for the Meyer Cancer Center and its designation as an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Facility serves as central facility for human organoid technology to accelerate organoid-based scientific discovery. Provides human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived as well as tissue derived cells and organoids.
