which all scientists could depend on. That collection, the Human Genetic Cell Repository, was launched at Coriell in 1973 and over the years Coriell has built relationships with many other organizations and now offers millions of samples to scientists around the world.

Research is also a major focus of the Coriell Institute.

Jean-Pierre Issa, MD, Coriell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is a world-recognized expert in epigenetics – or the ways the turning “on” and “off” of genes affect our health – of aging and cancer. Coriell has a team of researchers working to learn more about the role epigenetics plays in cancer and how it can be tapped to improve treatments.

Coriell scientists are investigating what causes some people to be more at risk of opioid use disorder than others. In 2018, Coriell partnered up with its Camden neighbors Cooper University Health Care and the Cooper

Coriell Science Fair Alumni Update

REEVES BALDERSON Reeves Balderson is a senior at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. After graduation, Reeves has accepted a position in New York City as an Investment Banking Analyst with Bank of Montreal Capital Markets.

Prior to interning at BMO last summer, Reeves interned at two private equity firms, Graham Partners and Hamilton Lane.

Reeves participated in his first Coriell Science Fair in 2012 as a six-grader.

This led to a six-year research project focused on designing and maximizing the performance of a compact prototype solar desalination device for use in developing countries to drive enhanced drinking water quality and production. He was granted twenty awards, including three best in show at the Coriell Science Fair, top honors at the Delaware Valley Science Fair, an invitation to compete at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and writing for the Encyclopedia Britannica. Reeves maintains an interest in sustainability, which he hopes to incorporate into his career in finance.

In his free time, Reeves enjoys cheering on Philadelphia and Michigan sports teams, traveling, and collecting sports memorabilia.
