The NYSCF Research Institute
In March 2006, NYSCF opened the first privately funded human embryonic stem cell (hESC) laboratory in New York. Initially, the lab acted as a safe haven, free from federal restrictions for scientists to conduct all types of stem cell research, including studies that involve embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and somatic cell nuclear transfer.
Now, the NYSCF Research Institute occupies over 6,000 square feet of space, and employs 40 full-time researchers. The NYSCF Research Institute is home to the NYSCF Global Stem Cell Array, a proprietary, automated robotic technology that produces induced pluripotent stem cell lines in a standardized manner.
NYSCF focuses its research efforts on disease modeling and the development of cell therapies.
