Overview

The Stem Cell and Organoid Core provides researchers with access to high-quality, human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), adult tissue-derived stem cells, and stem cell and tissue-derived organoids. The core supports and accelerates research across Mayo Clinic by providing routine access to human stem cells and microphysiological systems and delivering state-of-the-art stem cell and organoid development services.

The Stem Cell and Organoid Core is a direct outgrowth of the Cells2Cures Initiative led by Y.S. Prakash, M.D., Ph.D., associate dean of Research, Midwest. The core takes over the iPSC services previously provided by the Biotrust within the Center for Regenerative Biotherapeutics.
