Inflammation and Pain Animal Models

Inflammation and Pain Animal Model Services

Our in vivo pharmacology team is experienced with inflammation and pain disease animal model establishment and validation for efficacy screening, in vivo pharmacology profiling, PDPK and MOA studies.

The team is supported by internal PK/bioanalytical, ex vivo pharmacology and in vitro biology teams to provide integrated services.

Study Types

  • Development and validation of disease models
  • Maximum tolerated dose studies
  • Dose range finding studies
  • Efficacy studies
