Building Better Models of Human Diseases to Speed Drug Development

The Bio Report

About this episode

Animal testing for experimental therapies is slow, expensive, and an imperfect predictor for how a drug will act in humans. The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in July announced a program to advance innovative laboratory technologies that model human biology, enabling faster, less expensive testing. We spoke to Stacey Adam, vice president of scientific partnerships for the FNIH and leader of the public-private partnership, about the new program, the technologies being explored, and what it will take to transform biomedical research with better disease models.
