To support its research activities, the Center for Stem Cell Cell Biology (CSCB) has developed strong relationships with several core facilities and translational labs.
Core Facilities
Memorial-Sloan Kettering supports 36 core facilities to facilitate its programs of research. The CSCB is closely involved with the following:
Stem Cell Research Facility
Mark Tomishima, MD, Director
Lorenz Studer, PhD, Supervisor
The Sloan-Kettering Institute stem cell research facility was initially established with support from the Starr Foundation funded Tri-Institutional Stem Cell Initiative. The facility is also support by NYSTEM through a shared resource facility grant.
High-Throughput Drug Screening Facility
Hakim Djaballah, PhD, Director
Molecular Cytology
Katia Manova, PhD
Translational Labs
The CSCB also collaborates closely with the Center for Cell Engineering. The Center for Cell Engineering, with support from the Gene Transfer and Somatic Cell Engineering Facility, focuses on the translation of stem cell approaches into cell therapies.
