Dr. Jung-Il Moon, Coordinator of the Neuroscience Cell Engineering Core Facility, will be participating in the Stem Cell COREdinates on November 29-30, 2017, in New Jersey. Stem Cell COREdinates is a consortium of human pluripotent stem cell-focused core facilities that have joined forces to share our experiences and expertise with protocols, reagents, and to establish “best practices.” This open line of communication makes our member laboratories stronger, ultimately benefitting our client laboratories. One outcome of our efforts is a collection of protocols that are publicly available on Stembook.org and here on our protocol page.
