Taconic Biosciences Launches New Microbiome Service to Improve Mouse Model Translatability

Taconic Biosciences introduced a new suite of microbiome‑focused products and services centered on its Wild Mouse Microbiome (WildR) toolkit to help researchers improve the translational relevance of preclinical mouse studies by better mimicking human gut microbiome profiles. The WildR service offers three package options that provide either microbiota material or mice already colonized with the wild microbiome, supporting more reproducible and human‑relevant immune and therapeutic response data. Standard lab mice often lack microbial diversity found in nature, and this service aims to address that gap to enhance insights in areas such as immuno‑oncology and drug discovery. Taconic’s offering builds on its existing germ‑free and microbiota association capabilities and reflects growing recognition of the microbiome’s impact on biomedical research outcomes.
