Light Producing Animal Models
Light producing animal models are used to model disease pathways, from cellular signaling to gene regulation providing researchers with information on where a drug affects a particular pathway. Armed with this information, researchers are better able to understand the mechanism of action of a drug, expanding the potential for novel therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, compound testing in these same models provides immediate feedback concerning bioavailability of the compound to the target tissue.
Light producing animal models expand the applications for in vivo real-time imaging to include toxicology testing for both the pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing industries.
This innovative approach provides researchers with the "next generation" of highly predictive models that will expand the use of in vivo optical imaging across multiple therapeutic areas and functional applications in drug discovery and preclinical development.
These light producing animal models are now available from Taconic. For additional information please contact Taconic at LPTA@taconic.com
