Cell Therapy Core (CTC)
The CTC provides expertise in isolation of cells from primary tissues, expansion and differentiation of cells including immune and stem cells, genetic modification of cells by viral vectors, and development of cell based therapy products, among other services. The main aim of the CTC is to support ongoing research at NSU by providing GLP quality laboratory space, various well-established SOP-driven manufacturing processes and technical/lab support by experienced research assistants. We ensure high quality research environment by providing HEPA filter particle controlled antibiotic and Xeno-free GLP-quality cell and tissue processing laboratory.
The objectives of the CTC are:
- To provide investigators with access to high quality, state of the art, sophisticated technology and methodologies for manipulation of research specimens.
- To train investigators, fellows and technical staff in the tissue processing and other techniques for cell isolation and characterization.
- To provide excellent comprehensive customer service in a timely manner.
- To create a theoretical and practical educational platform for NSU staff and students by organizing seminars, webinars and workshops.
