Taconic Biosciences Launches TruIMPORT™ Importation Solution

Rodent Models Originating in China Can Be Imported Into Virtually Any Academic Vivarium Without Quarantine

RENSSELAER, N.Y., May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Taconic Biosciences, a global leader in providing drug discovery animal model solutions, announces a significant enhancement to the Taconic-Cyagen Model Generation Alliance allowing seamless importation of new genetically engineered models originating in China under the TruIMPORT™ umbrella.

Researchers at non-profit institutions play a critical role in drug discovery; however, outsourcing animal model generation can be cost prohibitive or a logistical challenge. Hurdles in accessing animal model resources can impede important research. Potential solutions to this problem have traditionally come with trade-offs. Depending on the country of origin, cost effective options can require a lengthy quarantine of the animals or additional breeding to ensure animals meet the required health standards for entry into the institution’s animal facility. These additional steps can cost the researcher both time and money.

Originally launched in 2018, the Taconic-Cyagen Model Generation Alliance (the Alliance) for academic and non-profit researchers leverages the talents of two industry-leading companies to create a solution uniquely tailored for non-profit research institutions. Taconic Biosciences has over 65 years of rodent model experience and Cyagen Biosciences is a China-based leader in model generation efficiency and a competitive cost structure. Since its inception, the Alliance has become a recognized leader in providing model generation services to academics and non-profit researchers. TruIMPORT™ represents an important evolution in this service offering. It allows animal models from China to be imported into United States and European animal facilities while complying with existing vivarium requirements. Providing a set of choices, TruIMPORT™ allows customers to access efficient model generation with several pricing options depending on desired delivery timeline, health standard, and cohort size.

“Our main goal is to solve problems for our customers,” shared Dr. John Couse, vice president of scientific services for Taconic. “While the Alliance has provided efficient model generation for years, importation concerns were a barrier for many customers. By creating multiple options under the TruIMPORT™ umbrella, customers can now import rodent models from China without quarantine regardless of the requirements of their vivarium.”

The TruIMPORT™ portfolio consists of three importation options: RapidRELAY™, RapidCHECK™, and RapidEXPANSION™. Customers can compare product specifications here to determine which represents the right combination of timeline, health standards, and deliverables to meet their needs.

About Taconic Biosciences, Inc.

Taconic Biosciences is a fully-licensed, global leader in genetically engineered rodent models and services. Founded in 1952, Taconic provides the best animal solutions so that customers can acquire, custom-generate, breed, precondition, test, and distribute valuable research models worldwide. Specialists in genetically engineered mouse and rat models, microbiome, immuno-oncology mouse models, and integrated model generation and colony management services, Taconic operates three service laboratories and six breeding facilities in the U.S. and Europe, maintains distributor relationships in Asia and has global shipping capabilities to provide animal models almost anywhere in the world.

Le GMAC lance le microsite chinois officiel de l’examen GMAT™

Le nouveau site Internet vise à mieux servir les étudiants potentiels de la région poursuivant un diplôme d’études supérieures dans le commerce

RESTON, Virginie, 26 mai 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™), la plus grande association mondiale d’écoles de commerce, qui administre le Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement du site Web chinois officiel de l’examen GMAT^TM, GMAT.com.cn. En tant qu’examen le plus largement utilisé pour les admissions d’écoles supérieures de commerce et accepté par plus de 7 000 programmes supérieurs de commerce dans le monde, le GMAT est un outil d’évaluation de premier plan parmi les nombreux talents de la région de la Grande Chine depuis plus de six décennies.

Reconnaissant l’intérêt croissant pour l’enseignement supérieur en management, le GMAC a établi le microsite pour permettre aux étudiants potentiels de la région d’accéder plus facilement et de manière plus confortable à des informations précises, complètes et faisant autorité sur le GMAT et l’enseignement supérieur en management dans leur langue maternelle. Grâce au contenu localisé et ciblé, le site Web chinois du GMAT, ainsi que le compte WeChat officiel du GMAT qui a été mis en service plus tôt cette année, fournissent les plateformes numériques essentielles pour créer et renforcer la connexion entre les talents parlant chinois et les écoles de commerce les plus importantes à l’échelle mondiale dans la région et au-delà, et combler un déficit d’informations sur le marché.

« La Chine est devenue au fil des ans la deuxième plus grande région pour le GMAT, après seulement les États-Unis », a déclaré Sangeet Chowfla, président-directeur général du GMAC. « Alors que les vaccins deviennent de plus en plus disponibles et que l’espoir d’une reprise économique commence à prendre racine, nous nous attendons à observer un regain de mobilité et sommes impatients de voir davantage d’étudiants chinois commencer et reprendre leur parcours d’études supérieures de commerce dans leur propre pays ou à l’étranger, en bénéficiant des nouvelles plateformes en langue chinoise que nous proposons aujourd’hui. »

Selon le rapport d’enquête auprès des étudiants potentiels sur mba.com 2021 du GMAC publié en mars, le niveau de préoccupation concernant l’impact de la COVID-19 diminue au fil du temps. Plus précisément, la proportion de répondants chinois qui ont déclaré être extrêmement ou très préoccupés a chuté, passant de 71 % en juillet 2020 à 48 % en novembre. Le rapport a également révélé que les répondants chinois prévoyant de poursuivre un MBA en dehors de leur pays ne modifient pas leurs plans d’origine malgré la pandémie, 89 % prévoyant de poursuivre leur MBA aux États-Unis et 55 % au Royaume-Uni, ce qui fait de ces deux pays leurs principales destinations envisagées.

« L’intérêt et le désir des talents commerciaux chinois de poursuivre des études supérieures de management n’ont pas diminué, mais ont seulement été mis en suspens », a déclaré Yuan Ding, vice-président et doyen de la CEIBS et directeur du conseil d’administration du GMAC. « Le site Web chinois officiel du GMAT aidera à connecter les talents commerciaux chinois du monde entier avec les écoles de commerce mondiales et ne laissera aucun talent inexploré. »

Plus de sept millions de candidats à la recherche de masters en commerce ou de MBA ont visité le site mba.com ― portail phare d’informations et de ressources d’enseignement supérieur du GMAC ― pour explorer les choix d’écoles de commerce, se préparer et s’inscrire aux examens, et obtenir des conseils sur le processus d’admissions.

“A China cresceu ao longo dos anos até se tornar a segunda maior região do GMAT, depois apenas dos Estados Unidos”, disse Sangeet Chowfla, presidente e CEO do GMAC. “À medida que as vacinas se tornam mais amplamente disponíveis e a esperança de recuperação econômica começa a se enraizar, esperamos ver mais mobilidade e que mais estudantes chineses comecem e retornem à sua jornada de educação empresarial de pós-graduação no seu próprio país ou no exterior, se beneficiando das novas plataformas de língua chinesa que estamos oferecendo hoje.”

De acordo com o relatório mba.com Prospective Students Survey Report de 2021 do GMAC publicado em março, o nível de preocupação com o impacto da COVID-19 vem diminuindo ao longo do tempo. Especificamente, a proporção de entrevistados chineses que relataram estar extremamente ou muito preocupados caiu de 71% em julho de 2020 para 48% em novembro do ano passado. O relatório também revelou que os entrevistados chineses que planejam fazer um MBA fora do seu país não estão mudando seus planos, apesar da pandemia, com 89% planejando fazer seu MBA nos Estados Unidos e 55% no Reino Unido, tornando esses dois países os principais destinos a serem consideração.

“O interesse e o desejo dos talentos empresariais chineses em prosseguir com os estudos de pós-graduação em gestão não diminuíram, apenas foram colocados em espera”, disse Yuan Ding, vice-presidente e reitor do CEIBS e diretor do conselho do GMAC. “O site chinês oficial do GMAT irá ajudar na conexão de talentos empresariais chineses em todo o mundo com faculdades de business em todo o mundo, e não deixará nenhum talento de fora.”
