We have helped develop methods to expand cell populations that will facilitate personalizing of CF therapies. We offer consultative support to facilitate the research of members of the Cystic Fibrosis Center and collaborators around the globe as we are a national resource for human cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF airway epithelial cells. We employ scientific techniques including: Cell Biology (aseptic technique, cell culture husbandry, FACS); Dissections (human lungs, oral tissues, nasal tissues, animal tissues); Microscopy (immunohistochemistry, widefield and confocal microscopy).
