REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL CORE FACILITY
All researchers intending to use human embryonic stem cells should refer to the ESCRO Website. You will need to use the ESCRO site to get an approved protocol. The requirements for approval will vary for each the project (e.g., everyone currently needs ESCRO, IRB, and EH&S, but only some researchers will need IACUC). All needed approvals must be on file before lab work may begin. Lab users must be trained and approved by Dr. Willert before lab work may be performed. Approvals are already in place for technical training. For training purposes, investigators can work under the IRB/ESCRO protocol of the core facility. However, as the investigator(s) develop their own research project, separate IRB/ESCRO approval has to be obtained. In addition, MTAs for the cell lines used have to be obtained.
Daily and 24 hour access to the facility must be approved by Dr. Willert and arranged in advance.
