GEN-H – Genetic Engineering Heidelberg GmbH

After 17 years and more than 800 successful DNA engineering projects, the Service Unit of Gene Bridges GmbH was transformed into an independent company by a management buy-out with the effective date January 1^st 2020.

The company continues to operate from the Technology Park in Heidelberg, Germany,  close to the well-known wine area, “Bergstrasse, Odenwald”. The Technology Park provides an excellent network for innovation.

Gen-H’s team of scientists has extensive experience in Genetic Engineering, gained through daily application of Red/ET recombination (also known as Recombineering). This technology, originally developed at the EMBL in Heidelberg, allows precise, scarless modification of DNA. Gen-H uses this technology to generate complex targeting constructs for animal models, as well as for custom modification of the E. coli chromosome, e.g. for pathway engineering.
