We care for your cells
Stem Genomics provides specific services to assess the genetic integrity of stem cells. We offer a range of innovative tests that use digital PCR and a panel of specific probes to detect most of the recurrent genetic abnormalities observed in stem cells. This innovation, called iCS-digital TM, is rapid, robust, and cost-effective, and can be performed on genomic DNA, cell pellets and cells in fresh culture media (or in cell culture supernatant).
The iCS-digital TM PSC test detects more than 90% of recurrent genomic abnormalities in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs).
The iCS-digital TM MSC test detects more than 80% of the most frequent genomic abnormalities in human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (hMSCs).
About
Stem Genomics
Stem Genomics develops a technology invented by Prof John De Vos and Dr Said Assou, researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine & Biotherapy (IRMB), University of Montpellier, and co-founders of the company. Located at the heart of the University Hospital Centre of Montpellier, IRMB houses research groups working on basic stem cell research and on innovative applications for regenerative therapy, with the aim of facilitating the transfer from research to clinical applications. Stem Genomics is located at the IRMB Cyborg business incubator and works in close collaboration with IRMB researchers. Stem Genomics has emerged from a prestigious scientific environment.
The discovery and recent advances in the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology have profoundly reshaped the field of genome engineering and allowed the generation of a wide range of mutant cell lines at an unprecedented rate.
However, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in hPSCs can also pose a threat to the overall genomic integrity.
