Welcome!
The Stem Cell Core Facility is a multi-service production and characterization facility at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The facility has two primary aims:
1. To give our users access to quality-controlled pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-derivatives prepared using standardized approaches
2. To offer genome editing services, as generation of custom-designed cell lines
The Cell Production Section of the Core Facility offers to its users maintenance and supply of mouse and human ESC/iPSC; derivation and characterization of hiPSC from fibroblasts or blood; and differentiation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cells into functional, mature, highly purified progenies (including neuronal, cardiac and retinal pigment epithelium). The Gene Editing Section of the Core Facility provides various services, including insertion of transgene and targeted single nucleotide modifications.
Our equipment is also available for rental: the 4D Nucleofector (Lonza), the Neon Nucleofector (Life Technologies), for example. The Stem Cell Core Facility also offers 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 TeSR media and irradiated fibroblasts, are also available at discounted price for our users.
Please register with our core by clicking "sign up" in the upper right hand corner of this window and initiate a request for consultation. Someone from our core will be in contact with you shortly.
Our offices and the Molecular Biology room are located in VP&S building, room 11518. The Stem Cell Core Facility Tissue Culture room is located in room 1105 in the William Black Building, on the 11th floor at 650 W 168th St, 10032 New York, New York.
