NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry
The NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry lists the derivations of stem cells that are eligible for federal funding. The purpose of the Registry is to provide investigators with:
- a unique NIH Code for each cell line that must be used when applying for NIH funding and
- contact information to facilitate investigators' acquisition of stem cells.
Providers listed on this page have at least one line currently available for shipping; a second page lists providers of lines that are not currently available for distribution.
Both pages will be updated as more cell lines are made available by providers. Pages suitable for printing are available for:
