At InVivo Biosystems, we optimized a groundbreaking multiplex CRISPR technology that is set to redefine how we approach target identification and validation in preclinical development.
What is MIC-Drop™?
MIC-Drop™ is our state-of-the-art multiplex CRISPR technology designed to push the boundaries of gene editing. It offers a leap forward from traditional CRISPR systems by addressing key challenges such as off-target effects and unintentional bias. MIC-Drop™ is engineered to enhance the precision and reliability of gene editing, making it an invaluable tool for high-throughput target identification and validation.
The Importance of Target Identification in Preclinical Development
In the preclinical phase, identifying and validating therapeutic targets is a critical step that determines the direction of drug development. Accurate target identification ensures that researchers are focusing on the right biological molecules involved in disease, while validation confirms that these targets are viable for therapeutic intervention. MIC-Drop™ plays a pivotal role in both processes by offering advanced capabilities that enhance accuracy and efficiency.
How MIC-Drop™ Enhances Target Identification
- Unmatched Precision and Objectivity in Gene Editing: MIC-Drop™ dramatically minimizes off-target effects, delivering gene edits with pinpoint accuracy exactly where intended. By leveraging advanced blind phenotyping and DNA barcoding techniques, MIC-Drop™ eliminates bias, ensuring that post-injection screening is both accurate and highly reliable.
- Revolutionary Multiplexed CRISPR: MIC-Drop™ empowers simultaneous editing of multiple genes and genomic regions, allowing our team of experts to rapidly screen an expansive range of targets in parallel. This accelerates the discovery process, enabling the swift refinement of a vast pool of potential therapeutic candidates into a select group of validated, high-potential targets.
- Comprehensive Therapeutic Screening: Beyond MIC-Drop™'s groundbreaking multiplexed gene editing, we leverage proprietary phenotypic assay technologies to evaluate a therapeutic's ability to rescue disease phenotypes with precision. This high-throughput approach dramatically accelerates the identification of effective therapies, driving faster, data-rich insights into the most promising candidates.
How MIC-Drop™ Enhances Target Validation
- Elimination of Bias: Unlike traditional CRISPR systems that can introduce both intentional and unintentional bias, compromising the reliability of target validation, MIC-Drop™ sets a new standard. Through advanced blind phenotyping and DNA barcoding, MIC-Drop™ ensures an objective correlation between genotypes and phenotypes, delivering results that are both unbiased and highly dependable for accurate target validation.
- Accelerated Target Validation: MIC-Drop™ revolutionizes the speed of target validation by enabling multiple gene edits in a single injection session. Unlike traditional CRISPR methods that require time-consuming cross-breeding over multiple generations, MIC-Drop™ allows transgenic models to be assessed immediately within the same population. This breakthrough dramatically shortens timelines, enabling functional assessments to happen faster and more efficiently than ever before.
- Unparalleled Multi-Target Validation: Instead of validating a single genetic target, our experts validate multiple targets in a single sweep, delivering a comprehensive, high-impact approach to uncovering the most promising therapeutic candidates with unmatched efficiency and precision.
The Transformation of Preclinical Development
MIC-Drop™ is a pivotal component of the comprehensive RapidGen™ platform, which is transforming the landscape of preclinical development. When integrated into the powerful RapidGen™ system, MIC-Drop™ enables researchers and pharmaceutical companies to streamline their target discovery processes and expedite the advancement of promising drug candidates. Ultimately, RapidGen™ provides a cohesive, innovative solution that accelerates preclinical research and propels breakthroughs in therapeutic development.
