Cell-based Disease Modeling and Screening (La Jolla)

Overview

The Cell-based Disease Modeling and Screening Core supports development of cell based disease models for screening and testing small molecules and drugs, and specializes in culture, scaling, and directed differentiation of human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. We provide resources and expertise to researchers at the Institute and to our external partners to facilitate development of stem cell based assays and patient-specific disease models in screenable formats. We have recently completed an ultra high throughput 365,000 compound screen of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), and developed and screened a patient-specific cell based disease model for muscular dystrophy.

Equipment and Resources

Our BSL-2-certified laboratory for stem cell culture is equipped with two biosafety cabinets, an EnvirCo laminar flow open bench hood for the manual manipulation of cultures, a Leica MZ6 Stereomicroscope and a CKX41SF2 Olympus inverted microscope, both with digital camera set ups, platform rotators, a Biospherix hypoxia chamber, and four CO2 incubators. In addition to the stem cell laboratory, the CPCCG’s sterile environment facility includes a second BSL-2 standard tissue culture room.
