Flow and Immunology Cores Family

The Flow and Immunology Cores assist with the characterization of cellular phenotype and function based on the expression of surface or intracellular molecular markers as well as the isolation of cells based on those markers. Advanced cell sorting and cytometric analyses are readily conducted by experts within the cores or by trained laboratory members. Many of the cores offer self-service on equipment. Contact them to find how they can help you with your research.
