Preclinical Research Services

In response to the rising incidence of various cancers, it has become imperative to conduct meticulous preclinical evaluations of cancer drugs, which are critical to cancer drugs' safety, efficacy, and pharmacological properties. Alfa Cytology provides extensive and comprehensive preclinical research services utilizing state-of-the-art technology and advanced models.

Introduction to Preclinical Research

Preclinical research services refer to a series of experiments and studies aimed at evaluating the safety, pharmacological properties, and efficacy of a drug prior to its introduction into clinical trials.

Cancer is a complex disease, and drugs must be highly selective, potent, and tolerable while avoiding damage to normal cells, necessitating preclinical studies. This phase of research provides the necessary prerequisites for entry into clinical trials and helps to screen the most promising drug candidates while reducing the risk of failure and costs of subsequent clinical trials.

Similar to other disease research, cancer research relies heavily on reliable and representative models. Selecting the most appropriate model to accurately reflect a particular tumor system is a major challenge. Although in vitro cancer models are relatively simple and easy to use, they do not fully replicate human cancer cells, their microenvironment, and other characteristics. The emergence of models such as Drosophila, zebrafish, genetically engineered mice, and computational cancer models has propelled research in cancer-related science even further.
