Human iPSC-Derived Neurons

NOVEL TOOL FOR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH: HUMAN IPSC-DERIVED NEURONS

Genetic and biochemical manipulation of stem cells has empowered the world scientists to theoretically generate any kind of cells, including any kind of neurons.  

We are able to physiologically characterize your cells / evaluate your compound’s efficacy on:

  • Proprietary iPSCs (healthy & patient-derived) 
  • Commercially available iPSCs (healthy & patient-derived) 
  • Glutamatergic 
  • Dopaminergic 
  • GABAergic 
  • Motor 
  • Sensory
