The lab is equipped with various instruments applicable to the study of genetic bleeding disorders. Tissue culture is performed with Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) in our own fully equipped room, including a Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) and incubator. Through our lab, we have access to other resources including flow cytometry and confocal imaging. We also work with McGill University to perform genomic analyses such as RNA-Seq and Sangar Sequencing.
