Flow Cytometry and Immune Monitoring Shared Resource Facility
FCIM SRF Overview
The overall mission of the Flow Cytometry and Immune Monitoring Shared Resource Facility (FCIM SRF) is to provide technical and scientific support for MCC investigators whose research programs require flow cytometric cell analysis and/or sorting or other immune-based cell assays. FCIM provides access to a team of expert immunologists and state of art instruments to aid pre-clinical, translational, and clinical research activities at the Markey Cancer Center. The FCIM team comprises experts in flow cytometry, tumor immunology, immunotherapy, vaccine biology, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, immune biomarker discovery, drug development and testing. We provide both fee-based services and scientific collaboration for research requiring immune system expertise for both human or animal studies.
