Stem Cell

UCLA's Stem Cell Core, in partnership with Georgia Tech, provides end-to-end CRISPR genome engineering, advanced pluripotent stem cell characterization and differentiation, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming services. We support high-quality stem cell research through validated, reproducible workflows and collaborates with academic and industry partners to advance studies in development, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine.
