BMEM Bio was founded by Dr. Paul Burridge (Northwestern University) and the three first authors on their Stem Cell Reports paper:

"The Nutritional Requirements of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells"

This publication described the invention of BMEM, the first new basal media developed in over 40 years. BMEM is highly optimized for hiPSC and the team is has gone on to show that it has numerous other applications in hiPSC research, including in our ground-breaking protein-free cardiomyocyte differentiation kit.

The BMEM Bio team has developed pluripotent stem cell culture media and matrices specifically designed to be chemically defined with no animal-derived ingredients and to have the minimal components necessary. Our products are highly optimized by our own in-house scientists, giving you the best chance that they will work with your cells in your hands the first time. We intentionally develop our products and protocols to be robust with ease of use in mind. BMEM Bio is dedicated to cost-effective products, allowing you to complete larger scale experiments with more replicates and ultimately, better results. Finally, a unique quality of BMEM is our proprietary development method allowing for room temperature, environmentally-friendly shipping.
