Academia

Maximise your research impact, with exemplary contract services

Accelerate research progress with our automated C. elegans technology and CRO expertise

We help academics at the cutting edge of scientific progress, maximise their research impact and accelerate progress through our specialist CRO services. 

C.elegans is a proven whole model organism with human translatability for many disease states, aging and longevity, and compound testing. Whether you are new to using C.elegans, or already working with the model, we save you valuable time, so you can focus on key research priorities like publications, grant funding proposals and translating your research to industry.
With access to decades of  C. elegans expertise and our unique automated WormGazerTM technology, you gain rich multi-end point in vivo data, for research success. We provide full study design consultancy and exemplary follow-on technical support

How we help academics:

For researchers without access to a C. elegans lab:

Fast, In vivo data with human translatability for research impact

✓ Acute and chronic drug effect testing, faster and cheaper than rodents

✓ Fast, rich data in weeks, with unique automated WormGazerTM technology 

✓ Study set-up & design consultancy, exemplary technical support 

✓ Well-structured, high-quality data formats for publication✓ Custom transgenics and assay design consultancy

For researchers already working with C. elegans:

Unique automation to transform and accelerate your project 

✓ Accelerate and transform manual assays with automated WormGazerTM technology 

✓ Full healthspan in vivo data with multi endpoint analyses in weeks (not just live/dead outcomes)

✓ Custom transgenics and novel assay design consultancy 

What our customers say

“Magnitude Biosciences helped us with a very complex gene-editing project. We really appreciated working with their team – in particular, Michael Fasseas, who was extremely helpful with all aspects of the project, from CRISPR design through to injection/screening …, they went above and beyond to adapt the project design as needed and their flexibility, responsiveness and transparency of communication, and the transgenics and C. elegans expertise they have in their team gave us a lot of confidence.  We highly recommend their services as a contract C. elegans lab.”  

Prof. Alan Morgan, Professor of Physiology at the University of Liverpool

“It was absolutely great to work with Magnitude Biosciences on several projects involving generating extra-chromosomal transgenic lines.… I have been impressed at how fast and efficient they are at what they do. I would totally recommend their services as a contract lab for C. elegans research.”

Laetitia Chauve, Postdoctoral Researcher, Babraham Institute, Cambridge, UK

”Magnitude is an invaluable partner allowing us to test our autophagy-related drugs in an unbiased and sensitive healthspan assay in vivo.”

Dr. Viktor Korolchuk, Institute for Cell & Molecular Biosciences and Institute for Ageing, Newcastle University.
