The tissue culture room propagate tissue for research. This can include growing muscle and organ tissues for medical research, as well as culturing individual cell lines that can be transformed to grow indefinitely. The room provides a shared resource with instrumentation and expertise to support the establishment and maintenance of cell cultures as invitro models for a variety of tissues.

The resource is comprised of three shared laboratory spaces that are maintained exclusively for cell culture work. There are two smaller laboratories that each have two biological safety cabinets, water-jacketed, tissue culture incubators, inverted microscopes, clinical centrifuges, water baths, and refrigerator/freezers. A larger facility has essentially the same equipment but with three biological safety cabinets and a larger number of incubators.
