About Us

Founded in September 2000, Shanghai Model Organisms Center, Inc. (SMOC) specializes in model organisms and is dedicated to gene editing and life decoding.

We provide customized solutions such as genetically engineered animal models, phenotype analysis and high-throughput screenings to advance life science research and drug discovery. SMOC owns a rapidly-growing repository of Research-Ready models , including immunodeficient and humanized mouse models to advance R&D for cancer immunotherapy.

Health and safety procedures for animal handling are strictly complied. Animal welfare is highly prioritized by SMOC and which has earned us the AAALAC accreditation.


Our mission is editing genes and decoding life.


Our vision is to become the leader in the field of genetically modified animal models,helping people understand the life science and improving quality of life around the world.


Our values are Innovation, Dedication, Friendship and Responsibility.

SMOC Received OLAW (Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare) Approval for Animal Welfare Assurance

Shanghai Model Organisms Center Inc.(SMOC) received the approval of Animal Welfare Assurance from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its animal facility on January 25, 2021.

Workshop:Progress and Advances in Preclinical immuno-Oncology Research

SMOC’s Annual Progress and Advances in Preclinical immuno-Oncology Research: The workshop is designed as a forum for ideas and opinions exchange on how to decrease the rate of clinical failures in oncology and immuno-oncology.

Shanghai Model Organisms Jinshan R&D Base officially put into operation

After the base is put into operation, SMOC’s capability to provide genetically modified rat/mouse models and technical services including gene function research and drug development will be greatly enhanced.
