The Flow Cytometry and Cellular Imaging (FCCI) Core Facility was established in 1982 with the goal of providing the large community of investigators at MD Anderson with access to state-of-the-art cell analysis technology. The Core has expanded the number of technologies offered and in use by cancer center members. The FCCI Core includes two separate labs at the north and south campus.

Institutional needs for flow cytometry services were carefully evaluated in 2008 and a decision was made to transition the operation of the South Campus Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility to a CCSG core to provide the sufficient capacity to support the institution’s investigators. Both the North and South Campus facilities are open to the entire MD Anderson research community.
