Applied StemCell Inc. (ASC) is a gene-editing company that offers an optimized series of tools for basic research study, drug discovery, bio-processing, bio-production and preclinical applications. Currently, the company is focused on the following areas:
- Cell line generation for bio-production and bioassays
- Patient-relevant cell models for personalized medicine
- Physiologically predictive animal and cellular models of human disease
Applied StemCell uses its TARGATT™ technology to specifically insert a gene-of-interest at a well-characterized, transcriptionally active locus in the genome with guaranteed transgene expression. This site-specific knock-in technology was first established in mouse models, and ASC has successfully applied it to human cell lines.
ASC has leveraged this technology across various projects that combine the complementary CRISPR/Cas9 technology and TARGATT™ for highly specified transgene expression. [Read more…]
