The Project |
The laboratory is a biobank for human cell lines, representing the unique and large ethnic variation of the Israeli populations. The NLGIP focuses on collecting, establishing and maintaining human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines and matching DNA samples from healthy donors representing the various Jewish and Arab ethnic groups in Israel.
Publication Human iPSC-derived neurons and lymphoblastoid cells for personalized medicine research in neuropsychiatric disorders. David Gurwitz, PhD. Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience. 2016 Sep; 18(3):267-276. In this open access review manuscript, Dr. Gurwitz describes the utility of human lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) for genomic research of CNS disorders, including for pharmacogenomic studies. The review compares their advantages and limitations compared with another research tool for CNS disorders, human iPSC-derived neurons. |
