Studies can be iterative starting on a small scale leading towards pivotal non-clinical IND/IDE-enabling trials in support of FDA or OUS-FDA submissions. This process informs animal model development to enhance scientific rigor during in vivo studies in experimental or naturally occurring disease models. We are invested in understanding the value proposition of emerging technologies under consideration and how they target unmet clinical needs. The Animal Model Core at Penn Vet New Bolton Center at the intersection of science and the rapid advancements in health care technology is an ecosystem supporting the continuum from discovery to invention to innovation in medical translation.
