Coriell Institute for Medical Research

Coriell is proud to continue to grow right here in Camden, a city of progress.

Camden’s mayor says investments in public safety, jobs and neighborhoods are making the city stronger The mayor spent more than 50 minutes highlighting the city’s record-low crime, neighborhood investments and workforce initiatives in his State of the City address.

Last week, Coriell welcomed Senator Andy Kim for a tour. His visit highlighted our growing biomedical research programs, our world-renowned biobank, and the Strategic Innovation Center and headquarters under development.

We are grateful for Senator Kim’s continued partnership and advocacy for our mission.

Last month, a group of Coriell employees volunteered to head over to Camden High School for a Career Day. Coriell scientists, Project Managers, Bioinformaticians, and Administrative Employees shared insights about their professions with groups of local students!

Thank you to all who volunteered!

We were so happy to partner with Rowan College of South Jersey for their STEM Discovery Day, where over 100 students from 11 South Jersey high schools had the chance to experience what it's like to be college students for a day. Students participated in a variety of STEM workshops, toured lab spaces, and more.
