Welcome to the UConn Cell and Genome Engineering Core

About Us

The University of Connecticut (UConn) Cell and Genome Engineering Core has substantially contributed to Stem Cell Research conducted in Connecticut and beyond by providing a central source of technologies and expertise for research involving embryonic stem cells (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC).

Genome Editing uses cutting-edge genome engineering technologies to develop cellular models.

The Core is a collaborative effort that brings Pluripotent Stem Cell Reprogramming, Genome Editing, and Cell Biobanking together.

We welcome Internal and External Investigators to support new, ongoing, and future research projects.
