Genetically Engineered Mouse Models & Their Applications

 

 Presented By Jun Wang, Ph.D. - Senior Director of Scientific Engagement at GemPharmatech (1)

 

Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) are the backbone of modern preclinical drug development. With the world's largest GEMM repository and a fully integrated CRO platform, GemPharmatech offers researchers an unmatched toolkit for moving from target biology to IND-enabling studies.

​In this lunch and learn, Jun Wang, PhD, Senior Scientific Director at GemPharmatech, walks through real preclinical case studies across oncology, metabolic disease, neurology, and immunology — illustrating how model selection, study design, and integrated CRO capabilities translate into more translatable data and more defensible go/no-go decisions.
