Westmead. One of a kind in Australia

The Lady Mary Fairfax CellBank Australia facility at the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI), at Westmead, now enables Australian researchers to access cell lines (cells grown in culture) locally and quicker, rather than from overseas. CellBank Australia will soon stock more than 700 cell lines from the international cell line repository, the European Collection of Cell Cultures. The facility runs on a cost recovery basis.
