Neuroscience Cell Engineering

Overview of Services

The Purdue Institute of Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN) Cell Engineering Core was established to facilitate stem-cell-related research for the Purdue community by providing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines and multiple differentiated cell types from human iPSCs, with a special focus on neuronal cells. The Core uses cutting-edge technologies to induce and differentiate iPSCs for studying disease mechanisms in-a-dish, drug screening and other applications. Core Capabilities:

  • iPSC derivation - non-integrating methodologies (e.g. mRNA, Sendai virus) from human skin biopsy, peripheral/cord blood, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and urine epithelial cells
  • iPSC culturing - expansion, distribution, and differentiation
  • Cell Repository - iPSCs, fibroblasts, peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs), EPCs, urine epithelial cells, neural precursors, cardio myocytes and other cell types
  • Functional studies - Micro/multielectrode array (MEA) using MaestroPro machine from Axion BioSystems
  • Training & consultation -  iPSC culture, reprogramming, and differentiation
