The Stem Cell Core at QBRI has state-of-the-art facilities for cell culture, molecular biology and immunology. The core supports research labs in Qatar by providing expertise in cell reprogramming, engineering, and directed differentiations.

This core is easily distinguished as the only one of its kind in the entire region. This outstanding facility has expertise in the generation of human and non-human, primate-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to validate karyotype and pluripotency characterization. Genome editing services and directed differentiation of iPSCs to pancreatic progenitors/beta cells and cortical neurons are also offered
