Disease Model Animal Laboratory

Animal models of human diseases play a significant role in elucidation of disease mechanisms and the assessment of new drugs and novel therapeutics. The common marmoset, a nonhuman primate species, bridges a gap between humans and rodent laboratory animals. We advance research for the development of disease models and veterinary care for applying common marmosets as human disease models.

疾患モデル研究室画像

When using marmosets in research, we must provide the animals better housing environment and appropriate care such as disease control, anesthesia and analgesia. In parallel with disease model research, our laboratory advances research in improving husbandry procedures and veterinary care for the enhanced well-being of marmosets in research.
