Coordinator, Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience Cell Engineering Core Facility

MRGN cafeteria

(Should there be a preshceduled event in the MRGN cafe, the coffee hour will meet in the Bindley lobby)

Every Thursday 2-3pm (Please contact Jungil Moon to schedule a time if you're interested in meeting)

Overview of the Core

The Purdue Institute of Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN) Cell Engineering Core Facility was established to facilitate the stem cell related research at Purdue community by providing induced pluripotent stem cell lines and multiple differentiated cell types from human iPSCs. The cell engineering core uses the cutting edge technologies to induce and differentiate iPSCs for studying disease mechanism in-dish, drug screening and other applications. 

Capabilities

• iPSC derivation using non-integrating methodologies (e.g. mRNA, Sendai virus) from human skin biopsy, peripheral/cord blood, endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and urine epithelial cells
• iPSC expansion, distribution and differentiation
• Cell Repository: iPSCs, fibroblasts, PBMC, EPC, urine epithelial cells, neural precursors, cardio myocytes and other cell types

• Functional studies: Microelectrode array (MEA) using Maestro microelectrode array from Axion Biosystems

• Training & consultation for iPS culture, reprogramming and differentiation
