SPRINT opens the door to hands-on stem cell research by offering investigators access to fully equipped laboratory facilities designed for independent experimentation and skill-building. Whether you’re advancing a specific project or learning new stem cell techniques, our lab provides the space, tools, and support to help you succeed.
To ensure a safe, efficient, and high-quality research environment, investigators must complete a brief onboarding process covering essential laboratory protocols and procedures before accessing the culture room.
Training is completed either through our Techniques Course or personalized training with SPRINT team members. To get started, please contact the SPRINT Core team at [email protected].
