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.
