Target discovery involves the identification of specific genes or proteins that play a key role in disease. We offer a complete set of genome-modifying screening tools, including CRISPR and shRNA modalities, to facilitate target identification for monoclonal antibody screening. These tools can be combined with a wide array of cellular and biochemical tools to fast-track target validation and therapeutic development.

In vitro Tools for Target Validation

Developing cellular assays for lead discovery requires the production of biologically relevant models for comprehensive assessment. Our premier in vitro solutions include assays, reagents, and cell culture tools designed to help researchers validate their screened targets and identify phenotypes. We provide a comprehensive range of disease-relevant cell lines to enable the development of tissue-specific models for drug screening. Our organoid portfolio includes both iPSC- and patient-derived organoids, enabling drug screening in highly biomimetic models supported by specialized media, reagents, and 3D cell culture plates. Maximize your lead discovery with our MultiScreen® HTS plates or use our Millicell® cell culture inserts and plates to create scalable 6-, 12-, 24-, or 96-well cell assay environments. Our immunoassay platform solutions and western blotting tools enable sensitive qualitative or quantitative detection of biomarkers on any scale.
