hIPSC-Reprogramming and Cell Culture (IPSC-CC) module

The IPSC-CC module is a modernization of the previous Tissue Culture module. The Tissue Culture Core Facility has been an essential part of our Department's Core Grant for 35 years. While the module will continue to provide essential services for tissue culture and training in tissue culture, the module has been modernized to meet the growing demand to enhance the feasibility of cell reprogramming to produce induced pluripotent stem cells for differentiation into RPE culture models, neuronal or corneal stem cells, and retinal organoids. In addition, the module has been enhanced to include robotics and high-content cell image analysis for siRNA, CRISPR, and drug screens in cultured cells or organoids.
