Description:

Multi-center facility at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, created to help users take advantage of up-to-date resources in the stem cell field in a timely and cost-efficient way. Offered services include giving access to quality-controlled pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-derivatives prepared using standardized approaches; genome editing services for the generation of custom-designed cell lines; training sessions and informal interactions between scientists from multiple laboratories working on different stem cell models. Some reagents commonly used in stem cell labs, as mTeSR1 media and irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts, are also available at discounted prices for our users. We are connected to Stem Cell COREdinates(link is external and opens in a new window), a consortium of pluripotent stem cell-focused core facilities, which allows us to take advantage of the sharing of the most updated and efficient protocols, expertise, and reagents.
