Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) line services
Provided by European Bank for induced pluripotent Stem Cells (EBiSC)
The European Bank for induced pluripotent Stem Cells (EBiSC) is dedicated to provision of high quality, well characterised iPSC line services to support you with your iPSC research.
EBiSC has a wealth of experience and an established network of clinicians, ethicists and renowned scientists. Expert support for accelerating research activities including:
– iPSC reprogramming: Generate new iPSC lines from selected biosamples
– iPSC gene editing: Generate iPSCs with the genotype of your choice, qualified to industry standards.
– iPSC banking and quality control – Characterise and qualify your iPSC lines at industry standards
– Sourcing tissue and data from disease relevant patient cohorts
– Translating your iPSC protocols to upscaled automative approaches and generating iPSCs in bulk
– Advising on common ethical, legal and scientific pitfalls in the context of iPSC generation and possible solutions.
Genome-wide and targeted Next-Generation-Sequencing
Provided by DRESDEN-CONCEPT GENOME CENTER (DCGC)
Next generation sequencing (NGS) and associated technologies are available to researchers in the area of life sciences on the Dresden Campus of DCGC. It provides strong expertise in the areas of:
(1) Single cell applications;
(2) De novo genome sequencing and assemblies; and
(3) A broad range of short read-based sequencing application.
Services provided by EU-OPENSCREEN include
• high-throughput compound/ drug screening (HTS): HTS of an assay against the EU-OPENSCREEN chemical collection (> 100,000 compounds); in silico profiling; hit selection; confirmatory screening; basic
counter screening; basic SAR based on screening data; QC of confirmed hits
• access to a unique European compound collection: EU-OPENSCREEN chemical collection (> 100,000 compounds)
Services provided by EU-OPENSCREEN include
• assay adaption: This assay adaptation process will involve a strong emphasis on quality, including: quality control of reagents; (patho-)physiological relevance; pharmacological consistency; robustness; minimised variability; and tracking of statistical descriptors (e.g. signal to background and the Z’ factor)
• chemical optimization and profiling of preliminary ‘hits’
• bioprofiling of donated compounds: All compounds donated by the user which enter the EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC compound collection are characterised and annotated for basic physico-chemical (e.g. identity, solubility, light absorbance and fluorescence) and essential to know biological properties (cytotoxicity, antibiotic, antifungal etc.) by testing in a standard panel of assays.
• provision of standardised data: All data generated through QC/bioprofiling and screening activities will be published in EU-OPENSCREEN’s open-access database with an optional ‘grace’ period (i.e. delayed publication of data). Large-scale open-access data provide the basis for computational data integration to obtain a systematic view, allow for prediction of drug-target interactions and networks as well as of adverse effects and drug combinations. The access to the EU-OPENSCREEN database will utilize the facilities of ChEMBL.
EU-OPENSCREEN provides training and education activities in the aread of assay development, assay technologies, instrumentation and automation, compound management, and informatics.
