New animal model for preclinical efficacy testing

Our basic Research Department creates and validates novel in vivo model for the evaluation of the efficacy of ocular drugs.
Recently, the Iris Pharma Research Team has validated several animal models to investigate the various aspects of Age-related Macular Degenerescence (AMD) and retinal degenerescence: corneal angiogenesis (suture model on rabbits), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, hyperoxia model in pup mice), chemical burn (alcohol, sodium hydroxyde models in rats, mice and rabbits), retinal vascular permeability (VEGF-induced leakage) in rabbits, and choroidal neovascularization model (CNV) in rats using argon laser.
