Cyagen’s library of genetically engineered mouse models are generated using state-of-the-art methods and AI-assisted capabilities. The library of knockout, conditional knockout and Cre-recombinase expressing and reporter models spans the spectrum of physiological processes, disease, and potential drug targets. These animal models are critical to exploring gene functions, disease modeling, drug discovery and validation, and drug safety assessments.
Taconic will become the exclusive distributor of Cyagen’s animal model library in North America and Europe, combining Cyagen’s extensive library with Taconic’s world-class animal production and colony management services. Scientists in basic research and preclinical drug discovery are now able to access these models in a trouble-free manner, backed by expertise in model generation, production, and use in drug-discovery and preclinical studies.
Taconic is a pioneer in genetically engineered rodent model generation and colony management services, providing researchers with high-quality models produced under industry-leading animal welfare and biosecurity standards. “By adding more than 200 Cre (inducible) models and a vast catalogue of gene edited mouse conditional knockout (cKO) and knockout (KO) models to our existing library of 4,500 mouse models, we’re expanding our turnkey solution to meet the evolving needs of biomedical researchers,” said Mike Garrett, CEO of Taconic.
Cyagen is a global leader in customized model generation. Powered by its AI-driven platforms, Cyagen’s comprehensive portfolio of KO/cKO models delivers unprecedented speed and cost-efficiency, accelerating discovery across biomedical sciences. “For over a decade, we’ve pioneered these genetic tools to tackle neurodegeneration, rare diseases, immuno-oncology, and metabolic disorders. Today, I’m proud to deepen our partnership with Taconic – expanding global access to these models for researchers in every disease area. Together, we bring cutting-edge models closer to customers worldwide, combining Cyagen’s innovation in genetic engineering with Taconic’s excellence in quality and health standards and global reach. This collaboration empowers scientists to turn discovery into impact, faster.” said Lance Han, Founder and President of Cyagen.
