LIFE & BRAIN CELLOMICS specializes in providing stem cell-based cell culture systems and customer-specific services for disease modeling and compound development.
Using disease-specific and control iPSC lines, LIFE & BRAIN CELLOMICS works with customers to develop assays for disease-related research and drug discovery in the field of neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. The spectrum of assay development ranges from morphometric and immunofluorescence analyses via biochemical assays to functional recordings e.g. in micro-electrode arrays. At ISSCR 2024 we launch our cryopreserved iPSC derived microglia. Our derivation protocol recapitulates the developmental cascade, resulting in authentic and fully functional human microglia which can be used directly for cellular assays within 24 hours after thawing!
Further services include the expansion of iPSC and QC of iPSCs and derivatives (including pluripotency assays, array-based molecular karyotyping, genetic fingerprinting, exome and whole genome sequencing, methylation profiling).
