Biospective in collaboration with Taconic Biosciences


Taconic Biosciences offers genetically engineered Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse models that replicate key features such as β-amyloid plaques, tau pathology, cognitive decline, and neuroinflammation. These highly translatable models are key in advancing preclinical research and drug discovery efforts. Designed for precision and reliability, models have been validated for use in therapeutic development. With ready-to-use cohorts, custom model generation capabilities including targeted transgenesis, and expert scientific support, Taconic empowers researchers to achieve breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
