Animal Models Evolve to Satisfy Emerging Needs

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News recently published an article discussing the progression of advanced animal models for drug development research efforts. To address these developing needs, Taconic's Dr. Michael Seiler describes the differences between traditional inbred models and genetically engineered humanized immune system mice. Multiple humanized mouse models have been created in recent years, enabling researchers to conduct advanced studies in mice with humanized immune systems.

Animal Models Evolve to Satisfy Emerging Needs"Traditional inbred and outbred animal models are more adaptable to different therapeutic interventions in a small-molecule setting, allowing testing of a broader range of molecules with a relative expectation of the outcome," says Michael Seiler, PhD, vice president of commercial products at Taconic Biosciences.
