IMPC’s Impact on Biomedical Research The IMPC has significantly impacted the advancement in biomedical research by systematically generating and phenotyping knockout mice for nearly every protein-coding gene. The data IMPC provided has led to major discoveries in gene function, enabled the development of new disease models, and provided an open-access resource that supports translational research and precision medicine.

🧬 The IMPC is unlocking gene function at scale powering discovery in translational research across disciplines.

🎥 Dr. Sabine Hölter-Koch explains the impact in this video: bit.ly/IMPCImpact

Whether you're working on rare diseases,functional genomics, or drug discovery, the IMPC is worth exploring.

📢 The IMPC will be attending #ESHG2025!
