About the Coriell Institute for Medical Research
From Coriell: Founded in 1953, the Coriell Institute for Medical Research is a nonprofit research institute dedicated to improving human health through biomedical research. Coriell scientists lead research in personalized medicine, cancer biology, epigenetics, and the genomics of opioid use disorder. Coriell also hosts one of the world's leading biobanks—comprised of collections for the National Institutes of Health, disease foundations and private clients—and distributes biological samples and offers research and biobanking services to scientists around the globe. To facilitate drug discovery and disease study, the Institute also develops and distributes collections of induced pluripotent stem cells. For more information, visit Coriell.org.
In 2020, KIF1A.ORG and the Chung Lab partnered with Coriell to include induced pluripotent stem cells created from blood donated by KIF1A patients in the Human Genetic Cell Repository at Coriell. Now, these critical resources are available to researchers around the world.
