NRW Consortium is building a “StemCellFactory”

In a collaborative project, funded by the NRW-EU Ziel 2-Program (EFRE), the Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology has joined forces with leading stem cell research institutions in North Rhine Westphalia to establish an automated system for the production of patient-specific iPS cells and their neural and cardiac derivatives for drug screening.
