GEM Sourcing & Animal Model Selection

Your efficacy model choice can make or break your IND. The wrong model risks failing to show efficacy when your drug actually works.

And choosing the right model starts with choosing the right source.

NeuroVivo helps sponsors identify and source genetically engineered rodent models (GEM) that align with their scientific goals, operational constraints, and budget. Whether you need a specific genetic modification or a fully characterized phenotype, we guide you to reliable vendors and assess whether the model is truly fit for purpose. We ensure your animal model is not just genetically relevant—but operationally viable and scientifically aligned.

What We Offer

• Vendor Matching & Sourcing Strategy
  We recommend trusted vendors based on reliability, cost, delivery timelines, and technical support—tailored to your project’s needs.
• Model–Protocol Fit Assessment
  We evaluate whether the proposed mouse or rat line aligns with your study endpoints, readouts, and executional feasibility.
• Phenotype Characterization Review
  We help you determine whether a model requires in-house characterization or if validated data already exists—saving time and resources.
• Genetically Engineered Animal Model Guidance
  Whether you need a constitutive knockout, conditional allele, or transgene expression, we help clarify biological implications and sourcing options.
• Operational Feasibility Advisory
  We flag potential bottlenecks such as breeding complexity, housing requirements, or specialized equipment needs. We also advise on the optimal location for breeding and testing to maximize time, cost, and resource efficiency.
