Cell Repository

About the USIDNET Cell Repository

The Coriell Institute stores and maintains the USIDNET Cell Repository, which only contains de-identified materials. The Repository does not have information for the identification of the sample donors. Materials in the collection are made available to qualified investigators in academic and commercial organizations to increase understanding and to promote development of new treatments for these disorders.
