31 Core Facilities found
Animal Imaging
The Animal Imaging Core provides investigators with unique capabilities for the noninvasive detection, localization, and characterization of primary and metastatic cancer cells in vivo in small animal models.
Antibody & Bioresource
The Antibody and Bioresource Core provides information and various services to help researchers generate and use monoclonal antibodies in their experiments.
Antitumor Assessment
The Antitumor Assessment Core provides resources, professional and technical expertise, and advisory services related to the evaluation of a wide range of agents with potential antitumor activity.
Biobank and Pathology
The Biobank and Pathology Core is a centralized, comprehensive facility for research involving human tissue. The resource provides professional expertise in pathology, appropriate samples, and tissue-based experimentation.
Bioinformatics
The overall goal of the Bioinformatics Core is to establish and continually update a program of comprehensive computational and bioinformatics support services for the MSK research community.
Biostatistics
The Biostatistics Core serves investigators through collaborative research, general consulting, grant preparation support, education, data management, and computing.
Biotherapeutics
The mission of the Biotherapeutics (BT) Core is to develop, validate, and supply cell-based experimental products for phase 1 and 2 clinical trials so that investigators can evaluate their safety and potential clinical benefit. In 2014, the BT Core moved to the state-of-the-art, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)- capable- Cell Therapy and Cell Engineering Facility (CTCEF), located adjacent to the hospital in the Zuckerman II building.
Cell Metabolism
The Cell Metabolism (CMB) Core provides access to mass spectrometry strategies and related methodologies for the study of cellular metabolism.
Center of Comparative Medicine & Pathology
The Center of Comparative Medicine and Pathology is an academically oriented, interdisciplinary center that supports the development, characterization, care, and use of animal models at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Flow Cytometry Core Facility
The aim of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at MSKCC is to provide advanced instrumentation as well as high-level technical and scientific expertise in multi-dimensional Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting, to facilitate science, improve the quality, and advance the scope of MSK research.
