quickly for
grant
submission
▪ Request: CRISPR Cell line production, University of California
Berkeley research team
▪ Challenge - limited time: Research team lacked time (up to 6
months required) to develop in-house expertise for:
▪ CRISPR engineering
▪ Cell line Production
▪ Licensing considerations
▪ Results: Science Exchange connected the team with an external
provider who was able to complete the project in time for the team to
submit the data before their grant submission deadline.

Connect core
facilities with
researchers who
need them
“Science Exchange is a great way to connect with customers. Often these
customers are folks we would not have had the opportunity to work with.
Payments are worry-free and the staff are always friendly, helpful and supportive.”
