Flow Cytometry Core Facility

The Flow Cytometry Core Facility at Sylvester provides researchers with sophisticated methods for the analysis and preparative sorting of both normal and tumor cells. The facility helps researchers measure apoptosis, gene expression, drug metabolism, immune responses, and pathways of cellular activation, both normal and tumor-related.

The core maintains instruments, computer work-stations for data analysis, and related equipment to support scientists affiliated with Sylvester’s multidisciplinary research programs, as well as researchers in a wide variety of cancer-related research projects.
The facility also provides training to investigators in flow cytometric applications and cell sorting technologies.
