Overview

The Hematopoietic Stem Cell Core Facility serves as a resource for procurement and processing of human hematopoietic cells derived from human blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cords.  The facility's objectives are:

  • To distribute human blood, umbilical cord blood and bone marrow cells to investigators
  • To perform standard assays of hematopoiesis (Colony-Forming Units [CFU], Burst-Forming Units [BFU], etc.) with the Hematologic Malignancies and Stem Cell transplant program
  • To perform hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cell analysis for evaluation of reconstitution after transplantation. In this capacity, the facility serves as a quality control laboratory for clinical trials.
