The Cellular Immunology and Immune Metabolism Core (CIMC) facility supports investigators from the New Orleans metropolitan area: LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, LSU Health New Orleans Dental School, Tulane University School of Medicine, Ochsner Health System, and Xavier University.

The Core provides assistance in sample processing and instrument operation, as well as consultation in experimental design, troubleshooting, data analysis, and interpretation of the results.

Additionally, the CIMC Core organizes group and individual trainings, workshops, and seminars for all members of the LSU LCMC Health Cancer Center.

Equipment is available 24/7 for trained investigators, with the exception of the FACS Aria and the Amnis. During regular working hours, a Core member is available to assist with setup, running samples, and troubleshooting. After-hours, only trained users have access to the Core. Equipment is protected by a user-specific password, which enables the CIMC to monitor equipment usage.

The equipment scheduling, billing, and reporting are performed using Agilent iLab.
