Applications of Animal Models

Different animal models can be used as economical and effective research tools to conduct in-depth and reliable experiments for different research purposes.

• Study of gene functions

To study the in vivo function of a gene or its encoded protein and identify its role within cellular processes.

• Research on human diseases

To mimic human diseases for the research on pathogenesis, development processes, related gene-regulation processes, therapeutic treatments, etc.

• Drug screening

To allow focused and high-throughput in vivo drug screening for more valuable pre-clinical research and accelerate drug development.

• Gene tracking
  

To visualize the in vivo expression of genes or proteins to uncover cell fate and genetic lineage.
