Gene Therapy and Gene Editing Research

  • Manage a wide range of genetic material and vectors

    • Perform CRISPR guide design with built-in on-target / off-target scoring
    • Create a library of genetic material and link with physical inventory
    • Design, create, and map relationships between components of gene therapy

  • Support a variety of genetic engineering and vector design workflows

    • Build custom workflows to manage a variety of gene editing workflows
    • Tailor viral and non-viral vectors to fit the needs of your programs
    • Track editing efficiency, transfection efficiency, yield, and other metrics

  • Prevent genotoxicity from integrating vectors or off-target genome editing

    • Track genotoxic sequences including specific enhancers and promoters
    • Study different vectors and their distinct integration profiles
    • Design vectors with lower risk of insertional mutagenesis

Gene Therapy and Gene Editing Development

  • Support product characterization concurrent to process optimization

    • Establish relationship between critical quality, material, and process attributes
