Disease modeling is the use of a disease model, which is an animal or cells containing all or some of the pathological characteristics and mechanisms of a disease, to study that particular disease.
Developing new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for brain disorders is an ethical imperative and conducting human research with neural devices is a key step towards achieving that goal. Condu...
The NIH BRAIN Initiative aims to develop new tools and neurotechnologies to transform our understanding of brain function in health and disease. That knowledge is critical to enable novel the...
Neurological disorders present a worldwide multi-factorial burden. They affect as many as one billion people globally - and that number is predicted to increase in the next decades. The wide-...
Humans have a remarkable ability to flexibly interact with the environment. A compelling demonstration of this cognitive flexibility is our ability to perform complex, yet previously un-pract...
Humans interact with their environment in countless ways and can switch seamlessly between activities. Even for seemingly simple tasks, a variety of sensory inputs and contextual cues are int...
The rapid formation of new memories and the recall of old memories to inform decisions is essential for human cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. We util...
The human brain has a remarkable ability to store and retrieve information. Detailed memories can be formed after as little as one exposure, and those memories can be retained for decades. Im...
NIH representatives from the BRAIN Initiative will be presenting an overview of the NIH BRAIN Initiative and describing funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) supporting impacts in human ne...
Joshua Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, will provide an overview of challenges and opportunities in mental health research. Dr. Gordon will present em...
Cellular research is optimal when using physiologically-relevant cell phenotypes and genotypes of human origin. This assertion has accelerated the adoption of primary cells, stem cells, and i...
Isolated hepatocytes or their enzymes comprise the basis of most in vitro DMPK and toxicity assays used to predict human hepatic outcomes. Because hepato-specific functions are typically lost...
Advanced Cell Diagnostics’ RNAscope products and assay services are utilized widely for tissue-based gene expression analysis in early target validation, preclinical animal efficacy and...
Recent clinical successes in cancer genome-inspired personalized medicine have been a major breakthrough in drug discovery. However, 98% of the patients have an incomplete therapeutic respons...

Pharmaceutical research and development efforts are often both inefficient and suffer from a high attrition rate of drug candidates within the clinical phase of development. Most drug t...
The lung is a highly complex organ, comprised of more than 40 cell types that are responsible for various important functions, the lung’s complexity contributes to the subsequent challe...
Experimental models that promise to replace animal tests that are currently required for drugs and chemicals are rapidly proliferating. This includes a number of novel solutions offered by bi...
Approximately 30% of drugs have failed in human clinical trials due to adverse reactions despite promising pre-clinical studies, and another 60% fail due to lack of efficacy. The NIH Tissue C...
Preclinical drug discovery is at the edge of a major transformation that promises to improve translation to the clinic through enhanced acquisition and advanced analysis of data. While an imp...
