Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects mostly boys, causes brain and behavior problems, severe arthritis, and poor muscle control. One of the major breakthroughs in Lesh-Nyhan syndrome research came in 1989 when researchers led by Richard A Gibbs, Ph.D. made a discovery based on samples they ordered from the NIGMS Human Genetic Cell Repository at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research.

Coriell was recently awarded a $5 million grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s Office of Research Infrastructure Programs to help to create a state-of-the-art Cell Engineering Center in Coriell’s new headquarters, enabling the expansion of our biobanking infrastructure and service offerings.

The center will be on the cutting edge of cell and developmental biology, serving as a core laboratory for NIH-funded researchers at Coriell and across the country. Thank you, Senator Andy Kim and Congressman Donald Norcross, for your support throughout this process.
