Physiological relevancy of the model

Success stories clearly demonstrate that the primary success factor is the physiological relevancy of the model.

Well-designed genetically engineered models can only be obtained through a labor-intensive, science-based analysis process, which relies on three main pillars:

  • Biology of the target:
    Each target is different and operates on different pathways; engineering should be done accordingly
  • Goal of the project:
    The model use dictates the design–a model for target validation differs from a model for toxicology studies, even though ultimately the target will be inactivated
  • Business constraints of the drug discovery program:
    The genetically engineered model is a part of the puzzle, and it must fit

genOway's approach: It's all about the right design

For each new model: (1) a thorough scientific analysis is performed (literature, in-silico tools, risk assessment, etc.), and (2) options are ranked and compared, based on the target gene biology, model use, technical feasibility, timelines, and budget.

This well-defined decision-tree process is crucial to the quality of the research model, the quality of data resulting from the use of the model, and its impact on drug discovery programs.
