DEVELOPING CUTTING EDGE ORGANOID TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE ADVANCED THERAPEUTICS
State-of-the-art stem cell technology to enhance translational research and expand the number of human organoid models available to support research in Australia.
Stem cell research provides an exciting model and tool for numerous areas of research. The facility offers a range of custom iPSC services including organoid model systems to increase the scope of stem cell research at CMRI and affiliated Institutions.
Our goal is to create a broadly available resource of human iPS cells-derived products and derivative tissues to accelerate research.
Pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into any cell type in the human body. They can survive and replicate indefinitely in the dish providing an unlimited source of cells for regenerative medicine, modelling diseases and development of new therapeutic approaches. For example, large numbers of drugs can be tested to find suitable treatments; this is called drug screening.
