Our Research
The Oncopig Model provides an innovative translational tool for reliable and predictable testing of cancer-related diagnostics, devices and drugs, therefore bridging the gap from murine (mouse) to human testing. Research to date shows that the Oncopig Model has many potential benefits. Prominently, we have the ability to test and fine-tune treatment approaches in pigs before moving to clinical trials, allowing for reduction of costs associated with assessment of additional variables and accurate treatment assessment. The Oncopig Model has the ability to mimic the human disease on a molecular basis which allow us to more accurately model the relevant clinical condition. The ability to induce tumors and comorbidities will allows us to work precisely with defined tumors influenced by similar disease backgrounds as human diseases. By precisely generating tumors and comorbidities in the Oncopig, which accurately mirror the human condition, our clients can evaluate their cancer diagnostics, drugs, devices, and other therapies in ways otherwise unavailable. And because our research to date has shown the Oncopig Model can effectively predict results in humans, our clients can accelerate the most promising directions to human clinical qualification.
