Program Leader: Chad Cowan, PhD

The HSCI iPS Core facility was created to accelerate research in the stem cell field by facilitating the derivation and distribution of iPS cell lines. Disease-specific iPS lines provide us with a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms of disease and ultimately to develop new treatments. The iPS Core serves as a repository for iPS cells produced by HSCI scientists and functions as a laboratory to produce disease-specific lines for sharing with the HSCI and broader research community.

The core's steering committee is chaired by George Daley MD, PhD, and consists of Chad Cowan, PhD, Kevin Eggan, PhD, Konrad Hochedlinger, PhD and Richard Maas, MD, PhD.
