The Rutgers Stem Cell Research Center, part of the Division of Life Sciences of the School of Arts & Sciences, is located in Nelson Laboratories on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University. Its mission is to support research with human embryonic stem cells for Rutgers University researchers and collaborators.
SCRC Facilities
Procedures requiring
non-federally funded
lab space :
non-federally funded
lab space :
- Derivation of new ESC lines
- Working with non-approved lines
With the new NIH Stem Cell Guidelines now in place, there is much less of a restriction on working with NIH-approved stem cell lines in a federally-funded research laboratory. However, there are still some procedures that are not allowed in a federally-funded environment.
Since the SCRC was built without federal funds these procedures may be performed in this laboratory. Prior to planning such projects, please contact Dr. Martin Grumet, director of the SCRC. Your project will need approval from the Rutgers-UMDNJ ESCRO committee before work may begin.
2012 New Jersey Stem Cell Symposium
The New Jersey Stem Cell Symposium is held each September at a convenient location in central New Jersey to bring together researchers from academics and industry. The focus is on current stem cell research and novel technologies. Opportunities for New Jersey scientists to present their work will be offered.
The 2012 Symposium will be held at the Bridgewater Marriott on Wednesday, September 19.
NIMH Stem Cell Center
The Rutgers Stem Cell Research Center has partnered with the Rutgers University Cell & DNA Repository (RUCDR) to establish the NIMH Stem Cell Center. This new service of the RUCDR will archive source cells for making iPSC, will make iPSC from cells representing mental health disorders, and distribute both types of cells to NIMH-funded researchers.
Stem Cell Training Course
With support from the New Jersey Commission on Science & Technology, the Rutgers Stem Cell Research Center has hosted several hands-on training courses in stem cell biology. For information on upcoming scheduled courses, please use this link.
