The Saudi Bank of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (SBiPSCs) is a national initiative advancing stem cell research and regenerative medicine in Saudi Arabia. Based at KAIMRC, SBiPSCs banks iPSC lines derived from Saudi patients with extremely rare or common genetic disorders to support drug discovery efforts nationally and globally. In addition, SBiPSCs generates iPSC lines from healthy Saudi donors whose HLA types match a significant portion of the population, creating a foundation for the development of future cutting-edge cellular therapies.

KAIMRC iPS Cell Bank

We want to establish a website for our medical center that offers iPS lines obtained through cellular reprogramming of blood cells as a commercial product, which can be used by pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies as well as academic research institutions for studying disease mechanisms and screening drugs.
