Cells Online offers a variety of engineered cell lines including knockout cells for drug discovery and biomedical research. These cells play an important role in cell biology research and drug discovery.
Academic researchers use these cell lines as better disease models to understand the basic biology of diseases.
In pharma or biotech, drug developers want to understand how mutations affect drug response or resistance. This is made clearer by studying cell lines that contain these mutations. Understanding the mechanisms underlying differences of engineered and wildtype cells in drug responsiveness can help with target identification and validation. These cells can even help stratify patients for more efficient and effective clinical trials.
