Supporting facilities for stem cell research:
1) |
Stem cell bank, which containing stem cells and iPS cells for different species and iPS cells from patient with a variety of diseases; |
2) |
Large animal culturing facility, which is capable to maintain more than 1500 Tibetan miniature pigs and 1000 rhesus monkeys at the same time; |
3) |
Molecular and cellular research equipment center, which includes live-cell imaging system, two-photon microscope, sorting machines, patch-clamp and others to serve the identification, culturing, and the sorting during stem cell maintain and differentiation; |
4) |
Small animal culturing facility, which is capable to maintain more than 50,000 mice at the same time and has a group of intelligent scientists to do animal behavior tests, knock-out/in, chimera mice assay, and tetraploid complementation assay; |
5) |
Material bank, which stores the growth factors, antibodies, and small molecule chemicals and has the ability to produce the routine-used factors during stem cell culturing; |
6) |
Super-computer center, which is designed to support the mathematic calculation during investigation like bio-informatics prediction and micro-array clustering. |
