Mission

The mission of the Immune Monitoring and Flow Cytometry (IMFC) SR is to support the Rutgers Cancer Institute cell therapy initiatives of the Nancy and Duncan MacMillan Center of Excellence, while offering integrated immunoprofiling, cell sorting, and cytometry services for clinical and basic applications to all Rutgers Cancer Institute members. The previously developing Immune Monitoring SR has been merged with the Flow Cytometry SR to allow for the modernization of Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting services, their alignment with strategic expansion in Immunology and Cell Therapy, and to provide expanded personnel coverage. For more information on exciting new services and new instrumentation, please visit the “Services & Requests” and “Equipment” pages.
