iPSC Culture Protocol Videos
Watch our iPSC culture protocol videos to learn how to culture iPSCs and iPSC-derived neural cells.
English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish videos are available now, with more languages coming soon!
Check out our new video describing how to differentiate motor neurons from stem cells. You can access the protocol here: https://zenodo.org/records/16920972

How to Access iPSCs
At the EDDU we have a catalogue of iPSC lines from healthy individuals and from patients with neurological disorders that can be freely accessed for a small fee. Our cells are for experimental use only.

How to access the iPSC catalogue on LORIS:
- Click “Open data access” as login
- Select at the top-left “Open data” tab
- Click “iPSC catalogue”
To access the cells, please contact cbig.mni [at] mcgill.ca (C-BIG). Click here for further instructions on accessing cells.
To learn more about how the cells are made or for general inquiries, please email xiuqing.chen [at] mcgill.ca (Carol Chen) and taylor.goldsmith [at] mcgill.ca ( Taylor Goldsmith).
