Eugene, OR. — October 10, 2016

Nemametrix Inc., a fast-growing life sciences startup that created the innovative ScreenChip System for drug screening, mutant phenotyping, and toxicological assessment, has entered into a co-marketing partnership with Knudra Transgenics, a genome engineering company specializing in custom-built transgenic model organisms for research and drug discovery.

Uniquely aligned in their mission to reinvent how diseases are researched, Nemametrix and Knudra Transgenics will work together to expand access to new markets and sales opportunities in academic and commercial labs around the world.

“We are thrilled to partner with Knudra, a company with proven technical expertise in C. elegans genome engineering as demonstrated by their groundbreaking RediModel System and RecombiREAD technologies,” said Matt Beaudet, CEO of Nemametrix. “Paired with our ScreenChip System platform, we expect this partnership will dramatically expand our reach into labs that have not traditionally used C. elegans — enabling new breakthroughs in ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, and anti-aging research with our combined capabilities.”

As part of the co-marketing partnership, Nemametrix and Knudra Transgenics will cooperate on marketing materials, research, and resources. This will include a co-presentation at the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) 2016 meeting entitled Whole animal data for cell biologists: extend your understanding of your genes, proteins, and pathways with accessible in vivo research. Both companies will also have shared exhibits at the ASCB meeting being held on December 3rd and the Society for Neuroscience meeting on November 12th, 2016.

Potential for further marketing, sales, and co-development partnerships between Nemametrix and Knudra are in the works. “In working with NemaMetrix, we will expand the reach of our service platform and add the capability to validate disease models. In combination with our new RediModel System for recreating clinical variations of human disease genes in a simplified in vivo model, this will accelerate the pace of medical research. We expect this to be our first step on the path to a long and productive relationship with Nemametrix,” said Knudra’s founder Chris Hopkins. “This is an exciting period of growth the C. elegans community.”
