In Vivo Models

Validated Animal Models for Confident Preclinical Decisions

From syngeneic tumour models to CNS disease paradigms, our portfolio of rigorously characterised in vivo systems gives your compound the best chance to prove its worth before the clinic.

A Portfolio Built Around Translational Relevance

Every model in our portfolio is selected and validated for its predictive value. We do not run experiments — we generate evidence.

Syngeneic Tumour Models

Immunocompetent mouse models (CT26, MC38, 4T1, B16-F10) for immuno-oncology programmes. Full immune compartment intact for checkpoint inhibitor and combination studies.

Xenograft & PDX Models

Subcutaneous and orthotopic human tumour xenografts in nude/SCID/NSG mice. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models available for a panel of solid tumours.

Request protocol →

Transgenic & Knock-in Models

Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) for target validation, resistance mechanism studies and precision oncology. Custom colony management available.

Request protocol →

CNS & Neurological Models

Validated paradigms for Parkinson’s disease (6-OHDA, MPTP), Alzheimer’s (3xTg, APP/PS1), anxiety, depression and neuropathic pain. Behavioural battery included.

Request protocol →

Inflammation & Autoimmunity

Acute and chronic inflammatory models: CIA, DSS-colitis, LPS-driven sepsis, contact hypersensitivity and air pouch. Cytokine profiling and histopathology as standard.

Request protocol →

PK/PD & Efficacy Studies

Single and multi-dose pharmacokinetic studies across species, integrated PK/PD modelling and dose-response characterisation to support IND-enabling packages.

Therapeutic Focus Areas

Our scientific team carries deep disease-area expertise so model selection and endpoint design reflect the biology — not just the assay catalogue.

Oncology

Solid tumours and haematological malignancies. Mono- and combination regimens, resistance models, biomarker-stratified cohorts and survival end-points. IO-ready syngeneic platforms.

  • Tumour growth inhibition (TGI)
  • Kaplan-Meier survival analysis
  • Immune profiling by flow cytometry
  • IHC / tumour histopathology

CNS & Neurodegeneration

Mechanistic and symptomatic models with comprehensive behavioural, biochemical and neuropathological read-outs. Experience with both small molecules and biologics.

  • Motor behavioural batteries (rotarod, open field)
  • Cognitive endpoints (Morris water maze, NOR)
  • Neuroinflammation markers
  • Brain tissue PK & target engagement

Inflammation & Immunology

Acute and chronic inflammatory paradigms with multiparameter cytokine profiling, histological scoring and mechanistic biomarker panels. Suitable for small molecules and biotherapeutics.

  • Clinical scoring & body weight monitoring
  • Multiplex cytokine profiling (Luminex)
  • Synovial / mucosal histopathology
  • Immune cell phenotyping

End-Points We Deliver as Standard

All end-points are pre-specified in the protocol, reported with full statistical analysis and formatted to meet regulatory submission requirements.

Tumour & Disease Burden

Calliper and IVIS bioluminescence imaging, digital image analysis of histological sections, organ weight and macroscopic findings.

Pharmacokinetics

Plasma, tissue and CSF sampling. LC-MS/MS bioanalysis, non-compartmental analysis (NCA) and PK/PD modelling with complete concentration-time profiles.

Biomarker Profiling

Gene expression (qPCR, RNA-seq), protein quantification (ELISA, Luminex), flow cytometry immunophenotyping and IHC/IF on FFPE tissue sections.

Safety & Tolerability

Clinical observations, body weight and food consumption, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and organ histopathology. GLP conditions available.

From Brief to Report in Three Phases

A structured process that eliminates surprises and keeps your programme on schedule.

Model Selection & Protocol Design

We review your target biology, compound profile and regulatory context, then propose the most translationally relevant model system with clear scientific justification and success criteria.

GLP-Compliant Execution

Animal husbandry, dosing, sampling and in-life observations conducted under full GLP conditions. You receive real-time access to raw data and weekly status updates from the study director.

Analysis, Report & Debrief

Comprehensive statistical analysis, narrative interpretation and a regulatory-ready final report delivered within agreed timelines, followed by a dedicated scientific debrief call.
