MCW Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Program

To advance translational and precision medicine research, the CVC has established the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Program funded by the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment. Over 600 square feet within the center is dedicated to providing quality iPSCs from a matching biorepository, consisting of somatic cells obtained from a multi-ethnic cohort of patients, representative of the region/community in which we serve. 

The Core Offers:

  • Reprogramming of somatic cells into iPSCs
  • The production of human iPSC-derived myocardial, endothelial and other cells
  • Quality maintenance and differentiation services for investigators campus-wide
