The Stem Cell Core Facility is a shared technical resource dedicated to providing normal hematopoietic cells and patient sample materials to researchers with an interest in stem cell biology and hematologic malignancies. The only prerequisite for using the facility's resources is a commitment to share your ideas and research with the community.

Note that blood products are NOT screened for infectious diseases and should be handled with Standard Precautions. Documentation that your laboratory is approved for the handling of human blood products is required before processing any cell requests.
