Human Stem Cell and Neuronal Differentiation Core

ATTENTION!

The ATC Human Stem Cell Core and  Neuronal Differentiation Core at the Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute merged in March 2022.  

The NEW Human Stem Cell and Neuronal Differentiation Core (HSCNDC) now offers the combined list of services developed by the two original cores and operates under the BCM Institutional Advanced Technology Cores (ATC) guidelines in coordination with NRI/TCH procedures.

The Director of the merged core is Aleksandar Bajic, Ph.D.

Overview of Services

 

The Human Stem Cell and Neuronal Differentiation Core (HSCNDC) provides a wide range of products and services related to human pluripotent stem cell research, as well as hands-on training classes for basic and advanced stem cell culture techniques. We offer cost-effective solutions to generate and characterize novel induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for in vitro disease modeling, employing “zero-footprint” technologies such as Sendai virus-based and episomal vector-based reprogramming. We also offer customized research support for experimental design and validation assays.
