RDefining your research
ANIMAL MODELS
of human diseases
Committed to promoting animal-friendly policies, we are developing eco-friendly technologies that play a pivotal role in accelerating the development cycle for advanced pharmaceuticals and health products based on fully characterized genetic, toxin, surgical, or diet-induced rodent models that closely resemble human health issues.
Our team has in-house expertise within a whole range of diseased-animal models:
Metabolic
Cardiovascular
Gastrointestinal
Renal
Autoimune disorders
Neurodegenerative
Neuropsychiatric
Others
