To support this research, MCRI has established state-of-the-art facilities. All facility services are available to internal and external researchers across the world.
Our iPSC Derivation and Gene Editing Facility brings together a team of highly experienced stem cell and molecular biologists experience to generate standard and gene-edited iPSCs on a cost-recovery basis that is extremely competitive with similar facilities around the globe. We collaborate with researchers to devise the ideal strategy for achieving successful outcomes based upon the ever-expanding number of gene-editing tools available.
Our Stem Cell
Based Drug Discovery Facility enables researchers to progress in vitro
disease models towards high throughput screening models for the identification
of novel drug-like compounds. We contribute with drug screening campaign
design, assay development and validation and drug screening for the
identification of new drug candidates for the treatment of inherited diseases
using human cells and tissues.
