Molecular Cytogenetics Core Facility
The T. C. Hsu Molecular Cytogenetics Core facility (MCF) is funded by the CCSG. The primary goal of this facility is to offer conventional and molecular cytogenetic services, including species identification, karyotyping, analysis of genomic instability, fluorescence in situ hybridization and spectral karyotyping. Dr. Ann Killary is the Director and Dr. Asha S. Multani is the Co-Director of the facility. MCF is administered through the Department of Genetics.
