Welcome

Welcome to the Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository(RUCDR) website. RUCDR is the  largest university based repository in the world. We are located on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey.


 

 

Our Mission

Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository (RUCDR) plays a key role in research aimed at understanding the genetic causes of common, complex diseases. RUCDR activities will enable gene discovery leading to diagnoses, treatments and, eventually, cures for these diseases. RUCDR assists researchers throughout the world by providing the highest quality biomaterials, technical consultation, and logistical support.
