To Learn More Visit: http://www.lifetechnologies.com/collaborate Our custom biology team offers you a unique and highly efficient way to achieve your research goals when an "off the shelf" tool isn't the right option. From cell engineering to custom assay development, our scientists work closely with your scientists to understand research goals and tailor a solution that meets your unique needs and aggressive timelines. Kurt: I'm Kurt Vogel. I'm the R&D Leader for Discover and [ADMET Taq] systems based in Madison, Wisconsin and Durham, North Carolina. When customers come to us and need something that's not off-the-shelf, that's really what our custom biology group is made for. (00:18) We have a lot of technologies, and our jump-in technology is probably one of the best examples, where we're able to rapidly engineer into a cell line of interest the particular target that the customer is interested in. David: I'm David Piper. I'm a Senior Manager for the Custom Services R&D Team at Life Technologies. Customers come to us for a number of reasons. In the current state of the economy, there has been considerable reduction so they may not have the hands. Another piece is timeline. They have an acute need to develop something on an extremely aggressive timeline. Third is the technical know-how. They may or may not have people available at a given time to address a particular solution that requires a specific skillset. Steve: I'm Steve Riddle, senior staff scientist. It certainly is rewarding to see projects that we develop solve real-life problems and to enable drug discovery programs at pharmaceutical and biotech companies. David: Given the broad amount of reagents that we have, they may come to us to put these pieces together in such a way that they can move from point A to point B in a seamless fashion. Our team feels a deep sense of satisfaction that we've been able to generate an integrated solution that fulfills an unmet need on the part of our customer.
