The UNC hESC Core Facility aims to provide support for UNC investigators working with human embryonic stem cells by providing training in laboratory protocols and techniques for hESC propagation and culture, and access to necessary equipment and laboratory space to enhance translational and clinical research. Developing and testing novel techniques and procedures related to every aspect of projects involving stem cells will be possible, with facilities and expertise in both mouse and human embryonic stem cells available. Through the collection and expansion of a number of hESC lines, the hESC Core Facility plans to maintain a stock of cells that will be available to UNC researchers for approved research projects.
