This Core has been without a director since Dr. Barnes left in May 1998. Dr. Bayne was Acting Director until April 2000 when Dr. Greenwood was appointed the new Core Director.

Similar Cell Culture facilities exist at a second location on campus with also has a vented biological safety hood. Multiple cell lines are stored for future use; computerized inventory of lines is available. The five main users of the Core are: Drs. Baird, Barnes, Bayne, Buhler, and Schimerlik. Drs.
