Stem Cell Core
The Stem Cell Core Facility aims to accelerate stem cell research at City of Hope by providing critical stem cell resources and technical support. We will provide customized services for human iPSC derivation, characterization, and gene editing. These human iPSCs will become valuable tools for disease modeling, drug discovery and therapeutic development.
Using the Facility
- Conferring stemness to engineered T cells through induced pluripotent stem cells for adoptive immunotherapy
- Assessing the impact of EPZ-6438 on stem cell aging and aging-related diseases
- Induced pluripotent stem cells for mitochondrial disease
Human iPSC derivation and characterization
We will provide customized services for deriving human disease-specific iPSCs to cater to individual research needs. We will also characterize these cells to confirm their pluripotency.
Human iPSC gene editing
We will use genome-editing technology, such as CRISPR-Cas9 editing to genetic-engineer human iPSCs to introduce or correct gene mutations.
Research and development
The Stem Cell Core may help develop protocols for certain lineage-specific differentiation for human iPSCs.
