Genetically Engineering Model Development Services

In the field of biomedical research, the development of accurate and reliable animal models is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying rare diseases and developing effective therapeutic strategies. Genetically Engineering Model (GEMs) development has emerged as a powerful tool in this endeavor. At our company, we are at the forefront of GEM development, providing cutting-edge services to support rare disease research and drug discovery.

Introduction to Genetically Engineering Models (GEMs)

Genetically engineering models (GEMs) refer to animal models that have been genetically modified to simulate human diseases. These models are created by introducing specific genetic alterations into the animal's genome, such as gene mutations, deletions, or insertions. The most frequently used species for such modifications are mice and rats. However, advancements in transgenic technology have enabled the creation of genetically engineered zebrafish, pigs, and even non-human primates over the past decade.

GEMs for Rare Diseases

GEMs provide researchers with a controlled and reproducible system to study the pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions for various rare diseases. By using GEMs that accurately represent the disease condition, scientists can assess the effectiveness of novel drug candidates, optimize dosage regimens, and predict potential adverse effects. The table below lists the applications of genetic engineering models in corresponding rare diseases.
