Empowering researchers across the USA with unprecedented genetic controls and standardized resources for the avian model.
The Avian AdvantageThe chicken (Gallus gallus) is a cornerstone of biomedical research for numerous compelling reasons.
The avian model offers exact control over developmental timing, allowing researchers to pinpoint specific stages of growth and differentiation with sub-hour high accuracy for standardized experiments.
No husbandry required. Eggs are shipped to you, simply incubate to the desired developmental timepoint, significantly reducing overhead costs, complexity, and ethical concerns.
Gallusa was formed to provide researchers with full genetic control within the avian model, enabling precise manipulation and study.
We solve the key pain points of avian-model research, so you can focus on breakthroughs.
Creating new vertebrate models can take over a year. Our single-step platform slashes that timeline so you can go from a research concept to your F0 founding line in just 4 months. Four. Months..
Conduct complex vertebrate functional studies for as little as 1/10th the cost of murine experiments, stretching your grant funding further.
Developmental scientists: minimize administrative burden by going cruelty-free. Early-stage avian embryos are largely IACUC-exempt, enabling rapid and flexible experimental design.
Toxicoloigy scientists: Leave a placenta-free system for clearer, more accurate developmental toxicity screening without maternal metabolic interference
In Ovo expression through electroporation gives local expression in just hours.
In Ovo modifications through RCAS and Triple-AVs give robust tissue wide expression. Just apply at day 1 and incubate!
For full genetic control, custom-edited embryos can go from gene to F0 in just 4 months, compared to 18+ months for mouse models.
We are currently preparing to launch our initial suite of resources and genetic tools. If you are interested in learning more, exploring partnership opportunities, or inquiring about early access, please reach out.
