Biotech
Biotech professionals must progress their drug discovery R&D timelines fast in
order to make the best use of their funding and IP. We help you take the jump from
petri dish to mammal in vivo models with confidence and more quickly than going straight
to rodent models.
Health and Manufacturing
Consumer goods, manufacturing and other industries investing in R&D want to put
the best quality, eco-friendly products out on the market. However, testing your
compounds for impact on environmental and human health can lead to overly complex,
ethically challenging and time-consuming studies with animal models. C. elegans offer
an ethical approach that can get the data you need on your compound in as little as three weeks.
Pharma
The pressure on drug developers is greater than ever and pharma need to look to
innovative new tools to stay ahead of the competition. C. elegans offer an NC3Rs-approved
avenue to fast-track preclinical research, to save you from or reduce your reliance on
high-investment rodent studies.
Academia

Pleased with the professional, efficient level of service we received from Magnitude Biosciences. We were happy to see reproducible and consistent data that has real potential for future screening projects.
Magnitude were very collaborative, efficient and flexible as the experiments progressed. We were impressed with the power of the automated imaging technology and the speed at which we obtained the results which helped us to efficiently prioritise key compounds.
The team at Magnitude Biosciences revealed the power of the C. elegans system in the early stages of drug development. They made us aware of the possibility and merit of using a variety of transgenics techniques in C. elegans to test the positive effects of peptides in models of neurodegeneration. We hope there will be future opportunities to partner with Magnitude Biosciences to help us develop the next generation of therapies.
