About the Core
The ATC Human Neuronal Differentiation and Stem Cell Core is located at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute. The service list of the core is extensive but focused on production of patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells, gene editing in human pluripotent stem cells, distribution and quality control of produced lines. The core operates under guidelines for BCM Institutional Advanced Technology Cores (ATC) in coordination with NRI/TCH procedures. The Director of the merged core is Aleksandar Bajic, Ph.D. and requests for services can be made on iLabs.
We provide intensive hands-on training on human pluripotent stem cell culture for Baylor College of Medicine, MD Anderson, and other Texas Medical Center investigators. View class information.
The HSCC offers cost-effective solutions to generate and characterize novel human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for in vitro disease modeling, employing “zero-footprint” technologies. View our services.
