The Gladstone Stem Cell Core offers a fully functional tissue culture facility with specialized instruments, media, reagents, cell lines, and expertise for new or established researchers to perform cutting-edge stem cell research. In addition, our core provides comprehensive human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)–related training, consultations, and standard and customized scientific services, including derivation of iPS cells, differentiation of iPS cells and genome editing in iPS cells to stem cell researchers.
