OUR STORY
How We Started
Dr. Vladimir Gurevich founded Fugent LLC in 1996 to bring his discoveries to everyone, with a vision to allow the world’s pioneering researchers to See the Unseen® with gentle, reliable, and efficient transfection products that could be produced with minimal environmental impact. Vladimir’s first innovation, FuGENE® 6, was the first non-liposomal transfection reagent to be sold commercially through a licensing agreement with Roche. Vladimir then went on to discover FuGENE® HD, the first 100% synthetic non-liposomal DNA transfection reagent. This product continues to be one of the most popular transfection reagents and is used in multiple applications, from the gentle interrogation of cellular functions to the production of vaccines and medicines.
