Zebra Fish Models for Drug Discovery

THE TECHNOLOGY Transgenic zebrafish are becoming increasing important as models for human disease. This organism offers the drug discovery industry a number of advantages including rapid reproductive cycle and large numbers of offspring, ethical preference over other animal models, cost effectiveness and strong correlations with the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of human disease. Researchers at the University of Manchester have developed a number of exciting phenotypic models of human disease in various important disease areas. KEY BENEFITS
• Early life-cycle stage phenotype
• Amenable to high throughput screening
• Pipeline of models in development POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS/APPLICATION AREAS
• Target and small molecule screens
• Cancer models for malignant melanoma
• Pharmaceutical & drug discovery INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Know how and expertise relating to the production of zebra fish models for drug discovery industry. COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITY The University of Manchester Intellectual Property Limited is open to all forms of collaboration from licensing to research development programmes.
