 The Use of Ultrasound in Drug Discovery - Applying the 3 R's & Advancing Research Animal Welfare

High frequency ultrasound (HFUS) imaging is a valuable tool in biomedical research.  HFUS provides anatomical, functional (flow), physiological and molecular data, allows for in vivo non-invasive studies, and the acquisition of longitudinal data at near microscopic resolution (30µ).  HFUS is a direct translational imaging technique, imaging conducted in the pre-clinical space can also occur in the human clinic.   We will discuss the use of high frequency ultrasound and its applications for rodent drug discovery and safety studies as well as the use of clinical imaging systems for large animal drug safety investigations.  Ultrasound plays a vital role in the drug development process, giving us longitudinal data acquisition which can reduce the number of animals required per study.  Ultrasound is a refined technology is directly translatable to humans and provides functional, morphological and anatomical data that can replace invasive measures, thus advancing the welfare of our research animals.

 Animal Models in Regenerative Medicine

Medical therapeutics and devices have progressed in complexity over many decades.  Beginning with simple medical devices and small molecules, therapeutics historically had relatively simple modes of action.  However, the increasingly complex modes of action of biological molecules, next-generation therapeutics and engineered tissues mandate more complex evaluations before their safety in humans can be assured.  This talk will describe some of the ways in which our laboratory has used animal models as predictors of engineered tissue function.  While lower models – such as rodents – are suitable for early work, it is clear that pre-clinical studies of cell and tissue therapies can benefit from utilization of larger animal models that more closely replicate the human condition.
