The spread of infectious diseases involves characteristics of the pathogen, the host and the environment where transmissions take place. The purpose of modeling infectious diseases is to evaluate the pathogen-host-environment interface, and strive to change the interface through intervention to our advantages, be they preventive or therapeutic.
Creative Bioarray offers a series of infection modeling services to identify novel anti-infective agents. In addition to standard infection models, we offer custom models optimized to address client specific needs to test candidates against specific subtypes/strains of pathogens. Creative Bioarray also provide safety, in vitro, and pharmacokinetic studies to support the development of anti-infective agents. We offer unique routes of administration, including intracerebral, intracolonic, intravascular, intraocular, dermal, and intraosseous.
Our infectious disease models include a wide range of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens to evaluate host-pathogen interactions.
