CORE--CELL CENTER

细胞中心成立于1973年，自1980年以来一直由NCI通过核心赠款作为共享资源提供资金。该机构在细胞培养和杂交瘤领域提供咨询、培训和服务。它还提供癌症中心研究人员在自己的实验室使用所需的全面的细胞培养介质和分子生物试剂。遗传学博士David Gasser担任细胞中心的设施主任。加塞尔是一名免疫遗传学家，他的研究主要涉及体内和体外控制免疫反应的基因，并拥有杂交瘤和淋巴母细胞系的经验。加塞尔博士在任职期间曾在该大学担任过多个领导职务。在上一次竞争性更新时，Cell Center因其大批量定价和集中生产而受到高度赞扬，因为它提供了在单个癌症中心成员实验室复制的困难和耗时的质量控制水平。在整个项目期间，细胞中心扩大了其服务范围，并继续稳步增加使用量。癌症中心成员占总使用量的44%，而获得同行评审资金的癌症中心成员占总使用量的39%。

The Cell Center was established in 1973 and has been funded by the NCI as a Shared Resource through the Core Grant since 1980. This facility provides consultation, training and services in the areas of cell culture and hybridomas. It also provides a full range of cell culture media and molecular biological reagents that are needed by Cancer Center investigators for use in their own laboratories. David Gasser, PhD, Professor of Genetics, serves as the Cell Center's Facility Director. Dr. Gasser is an immunogeneticist whose research has primarily dealt with genes that control the immune response, both in vivo and in vitro, and has experience with hybridomas and lymphoblastoid cell lines. Dr. Gasser has held numerous leadership positions within the University during his tenure. At the time of the last competitive renewal, the Cell Center was praised for being highly cost-effective because of its large volume pricing and for the centralized production that provides a level of quality control that would otherwise by difficult and time-consuming to duplicate in individual Cancer Center member laboratories. Throughout the current project period, the Cell Center has expanded its services and has continued to experience a steady increase in usage. Cancer Center members account for 44% of total usage, while Cancer Center members with peer-reviewed funding account for 39% of total usage.
