Overview

History: The Flow Cytometry Core Facility was established in 2012 by the Department of Pathology and became part of the institutional WCM Core Laboratories Center (CLC) in 2015.  The facility expanded into a multi-institutional core in 2016 as part of a collaboration between Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). 

Location: The core is located in the sub-basement level of the “E” building in room E-0033, 1300 York Avenue, New York, NY. 

WCM Core Laboratories Center (CLC): The WCM CLC was established in 2015.  The CLC includes core facilities that offer resources and services in genomics and epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics, flow cytometry, imaging (e.g., optical and electron microscopy, high content screening, MRI, PET/CT, and ultrasound), synthetic and analytical chemistry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). 

Open to all: The resources and services of the core facility are open to all investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University and Cornell-affiliated institutions.  The facility also provides services to external investigators at both academic institutions and commercial enterprises.
