Non-clinical models of respiratory disease

Investigational models of respiratory disease

Clinically-predictive models of respiratory disease

From a simple chemical induction to a multi-hit syndrome, the best research models replicate the etiology of human disease.

Acute and chronic models of respiratory disease reproduce the clinical dysfunction as well as the inflammatory components of lung disease.

Endpoints built into all models include:

  • Whole-body plethysmography
  • Forced-oscillation monitoring
  • Ventilatory pressure-volume loops
  • BALF collection and analysis
  • Gas exchange measurements
  • Full histopathological examination
