GemPharmatech, a global CRO specializing in genetically engineered mouse models and preclinical research services, has significantly expanded its U.S. presence with a newly opened and expanded headquarters in San Diego’s primary biotech corridor1 4 5.
The new San Diego facility features a state-of-the-art rodent vivarium and comprehensive laboratory space, designed to enhance support for North American biomedical researchers and drug developers, from animal breeding to full preclinical in vivo pharmacology studies4 5.

The facility is equipped with advanced environmental controls, ensuring high standards of animal welfare and rigorous data quality in line with evolving regulatory and ethical standards4 5.
