The Customer Journey

How to Get Started

Our Project Management Group is adept at exploiting our breeding toolbox to generate study cohorts as soon after model acquisition as possible. Our experts regularly utilize RapidEXPANSION™ through in vitro fertilization (IVF), accelerated natural breeding, speed congenics, and optimized high-volume genotyping to generate initial study cohorts in a fraction of the time that is required when using more conventional methods.

Once your mutant mouse or rat model has demonstrated to be critical to answering the research questions at hand, you will then require a dependable supply of study cohorts that meet your specifications. Our Project Management group will work closely with you to scale the breeding of your GEM, all while balancing production with timelines and budget.

Project Management Team

As model generation projects become more complex, they draw on an increasingly diverse set of scientific specializations. Your project management team is always available to address questions in their areas of expertise, from genetic analysis to custom microbiota associations.

The Project Management Team at Taconic has three key players:

Our PhD Scientific Program Managers are available to discuss project-specific goals. Scientific Program Managers have hands-on experience breeding and using animal models in research and draw on the necessary scientific disciplines at Taconic such as Genetics, Embryology, and Veterinary Sciences. They are well equipped to develop an optimal project plan to meet your goals. Through collaborative discussions, they develop a Project Charter that ensures optimal project design and defines the resources needed to meet cohort goals. The Scientific Program Managers will provide scientific oversight and support to the project management team throughout the project lifecycle.
