Biobank

The
VIMM hiPSC Biobank for Human Diseases Precise Modelling
was established to provide high-quality induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and organoids derived from donor somatic cells, from both healthy individuals and patients with rare conditions. The Biobank’s mission is to contribute to earlier diagnoses and to foster the development of innovative therapeutic approaches through the use of patient-specific cellular models.
