Chinese laboratory-animal model provider, breeding genetically engineered mice for biomedical research and drug development.
Chinese laboratory-animal model provider, breeding genetically engineered mice for biomedical research and drug development.
Sells live mice from a stock catalogue of its genetically engineered strains, a repeat revenue source because labs reorder animals for experiments, with custom model creation and testing services as add-ons. Sales go mainly to pharma, biotech and research institutes in China, so R&D budgets decide demand.
In one line: A Chinese Jackson Laboratory / Charles River mouse-model business.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, process know-how). Large, standardized mouse-model catalog and breeding scale that is slow for customers to replicate in-house.
Headquarters: Nanjing, China · Employees: 1,590
