Increase the prediction of your animal models by joining us at Informa Life Sciences’ Animal Models for Therapeutic Research conference and speed up drug development through increased correlation to clinical results.
Explore the innovative advances in the developments, validation and application of in vivo models to increase translation into the clinic and enhance drug development from key academic research institutions and leading industry organisations.

*Humanisation of animal models
*Animal models for affective disorders
*Knockout models for parkinsons disease
*New models for age related disease
*Reviewing advances in in-vivo oncology studies
Those who attended previously include:
Failure to accurately predict outcome in the clinic in animal models can result in dramatic costs and slower drug development for the industry. Increasing the translationability and validation of animal models is essential to ensure successful drug development.Download an agenda to see how this meeting can help select the most efficient model for your research programme.

Pre Conference Workshop: 18th June 2012
A Minipig Masterclass: Effectively Selecting your Non-Rodent Species for Pre-Clinical Safety Evaluations
For two reasons the minipig moves into the limelight of non-rodent species selection: Most importantly, with the minipig there is one more species physiologically close to humans to choose from, accomodating the moral imperative to make science-based species selection. This will favour valid results and serve animal welfare (refinement) as well as enhace human drug safety (cf. Guideline CPMP/SWP/1042/99). Secondly, the new EU animal welfare directive (2010/63/EU) encourages the search for alternative species to the reduce the number of non-human primates used. This workshop aims at the introduction of minipigs as an alternative non-rodent species.
