University of Cambridge - Biorepository Core

We provide up-to-date expertise, training and troubleshooting in all aspects of cell and tissue culture, to maintain a consistent high standard throughout the Institute. The facility is used extensively by most CI research groups, and this year there has been a significant increase in the the number of human tissue samples received, both for general research, and clinical trials use which must also comply with MHRA guidelines. We attend conferences, training courses and seminars on relevant aspects of cell culture and bio-banking which helps us to maintain a cutting-edge facility. We host an annual cell culture workshop where a panel of experts on mammalian cell culture offer help and advice to our scientists.
