NLAC also provides diversified tumor transplantation animal models, and anticancer drug efficacy assessments to facilitate drug development. NLAC→

Establishment of laboratory animal care and surgery facility

Constituting a laboratory animal resource alliance

Connecting supply networks to provide a complete selection of laboratory animals

Following the rapid development of the global biomedical industry, laboratory animals have become important resources in preclinical animal studies. NLAC connects domestic and foreign lab animal supply units together to form an animal resource alliance that provides a complete selection of lab animals, including rabbits, dogs, pigs, and monkeys, to meet the demands of domestic users and elevate research standards.

Humanized mice made-in-Taiwan

Ideal model for drug tests that opens up limitless future medical possibilities

NLAC is committed to developing prospective lab animals. After two years of enthusiastic efforts, NLAC has successfully established a useful mouse strain: advanced severe immunodeficiency (ASID). The said mice lack congenital and acquired immunity and generally do not reject heterologous cells and tissues. Therefore, human tissues or cells can be xenografted into ASID mice to accurately reflect the actual conditions in patients. Such model will be valuable for drug screening as well as for investigating the causes of diseases and ultimately for developing new therapies. These efforts will benefit significantly to the development and the quality of fundamental research and biomedical industries in Taiwan.
