Core Capabilities

InVivo Biosystems was founded on deep CRISPR genome editing expertise. This enabled us to create custom genome-edited zebrafish and C. elegans.

In the years since, we have expanded our offerings to include preclinical studies and drug discovery studies. Now, our CRISPR genome editing platform can provide key insights which can de-risk your clinical trial, and/or decide the next phase of your product development.

Our core capabilities allow us to provide services including:

  • in vivo model creation
  • toxicity studies
  • phenotype screening
  • target identification & validation
  • lead optimization
