Corning is committed to helping you make your research possibilities real by providing innovative products and surfaces. We recently ran our Mission: Possible award program to encourage researchers to submit novel experiments using Corning’ s latest innovative products. Our thanks is extended to all of those who took the time to conduct and submit their research as part of this program. Corning is pleased to announce the following program winners:
Silvia Menendez and Maria V. Guijarro
Department of Pathology, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York
Prizes were awarded for two different studies showing the advantages of Corning® CellBIND® Surface products; one demonstrating improved adherence and proliferation of a melanoma cell line that is normally limited in adherence to tissue culture treated plates, and one study demonstrating enhanced adherence and growth potential of bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells. This method allows for increased yield of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells.

(Senior Research Technician); Alice Triger, M.S. (Account Manager, NYC – Long Island); John Shyu, Ph.D. (Field Application Scientist – Eastern Territories)
Danielle Burger
Clinical Immunology Unit, Hans Wilsdorf Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, University and University Hospital of Geneva
Prizes were awarded for two different studies using Corning Ultra-Low Attachment Surface products; one demonstrating the enhanced survival of transfected human monocytes and one demonstrating improved harvesting of THP-1 cells differentiated into macrophages.

Isaac Cervantes-Sandoval , PhD.
Departamento de Infectómica y Patogénesis Molecular, Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados del Instituto, México
An Honorable Mention prize was awarded to for studies utilizing Corning CellBIND Surface products to investigate the effect of mucins in tumor cell defense against Naegleria fowleri and mucinolytic activity as a possible means of evasion. Experiments performed using Corning CellBIND Surface plates had significantly lower variance than those using traditional tissue culture treated plates.
