genOway Australia

genOway Australia was established to enhance access for Australian biotech, pharmaceutical, and academic teams to predictive preclinical models and translational research solutions, supported by a local team with strong scientific expertise in preclinical research.

Supporting innovation in Australia with genOway’s solutions

Australia has a vibrant and rapidly evolving life sciences ecosystem, with biotech companies, pharmaceutical leaders, and academic institutes driving innovation across oncology, immunology, rare diseases, and other critical therapeutic areas.

However, drug development remains highly challenging: around 90% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials, most often due to a lack of predictive power in preclinical models. Improving translational relevance has therefore become a key priority for the industry.

GenOway Australia was established to directly support this need within the Australian ecosystem. We provide local access to genOway’s validated catalogue of genetically engineered preclinical models, as well as advanced custom model generation and integrated preclinical services. Our presence in Australia enables faster collaboration, closer scientific support, and solutions adapted to local research priorities and timelines.

In addition, genOway Australia streamlines access to high-quality models sourced from certified professional breeders, with coordinated logistics and reliable door-to-door delivery across the country. This ensures Australian research teams benefit from consistent model quality, reduced lead times, and seamless integration into their preclinical programs—helping to improve predictability and ultimately reduce the risk of late-stage clinical failure.

Why work with genOway Australia

Australian biotech, pharmaceutical, and academic teams often need more than access to a model provider. They need a scientific partner who can help clarify model options, align preclinical strategy with program objectives, and ensure the right experimental design is in place from the earliest stages of development.

genOway Australia works closely with research teams to strengthen these early decisions, helping identify and design the most relevant genetically engineered models to better reflect human disease biology and translational endpoints. This includes support in navigating complex model choices and connecting scientific questions with the most appropriate genOway capabilities.

By combining local expertise with access to genOway’s global scientific platform, we help Australian teams reduce uncertainty in study design, improve the relevance of preclinical data, and accelerate progress toward key development milestones. This partnership approach ensures that model selection and strategy become enablers of more robust and successful research programs.

Your Australian point of contact

Nathalie Taquet leads genOway Australia and serves as the local scientific and strategic point of contact for Australian biotech, pharmaceutical, and academic innovators. She holds a PhD in Life Sciences with expertise in immunology and an Executive MBA, combining deep scientific knowledge with strong strategic and business leadership across the life sciences and innovation sectors.

With over 25 years of international experience across biotechnology, translational research, and innovation ecosystems, she operates at the interface between scientific discovery and strategic development. Her background in immunology provides a strong understanding of immune mechanisms, disease biology, and the importance of selecting predictive preclinical models to support translational success.

Throughout her career, Nathalie has worked closely with research institutions, industry partners, and innovation stakeholders to translate complex scientific programs into clear development strategies and actionable outcomes. She brings a unique ability to connect scientific objectives with operational execution and market realities.

At genOway Australia, Nathalie supports teams in defining their preclinical strategy, clarifying model requirements, and identifying the most relevant genetically engineered solutions to better reflect human disease biology—particularly in immunology, oncology, and other complex therapeutic areas. She combines scientific depth with strategic perspective to help teams strengthen early decision-making in drug development.

As a locally based representative, she provides Australian clients with an accessible and responsive partnership, while ensuring seamless connection to genOway’s global scientific expertise, validated model portfolio, and advanced preclinical capabilities.
