Davis Cancer Immune Monitoring Core
Human Immune Monitoring activities at Weill Cornell are a collaborative effort between the Davis Cancer Immune Monitoring Core and Mass Cytometry Platform. A part of the Meyer Cancer Center, The Davis Cancer Immune Monitoring Core provides state-of-the-art technology platforms and top-notch services for single-cell, in situ, and multiomic analysis for cutting-edge immunology research and clinical studies to drive discoveries and improve treatments.
Open to All
The resources and services of the core facility are available for the study of cancer, as well as the human diseases beyond cancer. Services are open to all investigators across multiple departments 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.

Services
Spectral Flow Cytometry (Cytek Aurora)
Spectral Flow Cytometry (Cytek Aurora)
High-parametric cytometry enabled by the innovative 5-laser, 64-channel spectral cytometer Cytek Aurora, capable of 40+ colors using pre-optimized panels, or ~20-30 colors for routine experiments. It is available by reservation 24/7 to trained users.

Imaging Mass Cytometry (Fluidigm Hyperion)
The Fluidigm Hyperion imaging mass cytometry (IMC) system allows highly multiplexed tissue imaging, currently at up to ~40 markers per panel using metal-tagged antibodies and at 1 µm/pixel resolution for images comparable to light microscopy with minimal spillover between channels. This technology enables high-content, deep profiling of complex functional and signaling states of various cells in the tissue immune microenvironment (TIME) with spatial and structural context, unveiling the important interactions between these cells and their tissue and disease context.
CyTOF Mass Cytometry (Fluidigm Helios)
High parameter spatially resolved protein detection at sub-cellular resolution using mass cytometry time of flight in situ (CyTOF Hyperion).
