Scientific Leadership

Over 26 years of pioneering mouse genetics expertise, guiding thousands of researchers from project design through publication

Our Mission

Since 1998, ingenious targeting laboratory has maintained unwavering commitment to scientific rigor, experimental reproducibility, and researcher success. Every mouse model we generate undergoes comprehensive quality control to ensure stable germline transmission and phenotypic consistency.

Scientific Excellence

Our team combines decades of mouse genetics experience with continuous innovation. We have contributed to over 800 peer-reviewed publications across Nature, Science, Cell, and leading disease-specific journals, advancing understanding of human disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Quality Commitment

Every project receives dedicated scientific oversight from design through delivery. Our quality control protocols ensure: verified germline transmission, confirmed allele structure, complete molecular characterization, and detailed breeding recommendations for reproducible cohort generation.

Scientific Oversight Process

1

Project Design Review

Initial consultation to understand research goals, phenotype expectations, and experimental timeline. Allele design strategy review ensuring optimal exon selection, LoxP placement, and control strategies.

2

Targeting Vector Validation

Sequence verification of all vector components including homology arms, selection cassettes, and recombination sites. Confirmation of proper reading frame and domain preservation for conditional alleles.

3

ES Cell Screening

Southern blot confirmation of correct integration, PCR verification of allele structure, and karyotype analysis ensuring chromosomal stability. Only properly targeted clones advance to injection.

4

Founder Analysis

Germline transmission verification through breeding analysis, genotyping confirmation across multiple generations, and expression analysis where applicable. Delivery only after confirmed stable germline.

5

Post-Delivery Support

Ongoing consultation for breeding questions, genotyping troubleshooting, phenotype optimization, and experimental design. Lifetime technical support for all delivered models.
