Key Advantages
Squirrel Monkeys exhibit 95% genetic homology with humans, particularly in neural pathways and immune signaling, making them indispensable for studies requiring high physiological relevance
- Neurological Precision: Their cortical structure and neurotransmitter systems mirror humans, ideal for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and epilepsy research.
- Reproductive Efficiency: Shorter gestation periods 150-170 days, enable rapid colony scaling for large-scale trials.
- Immune Responsiveness: MHC class I/II gene similarity ensures accurate evaluation of vaccines and immunotherapies.
Applications in Drug Discovery & Development
Squirrel Monkeys support five critical domains in preclinical research:
- Toxicology & Safety: Predictive systemic toxicity profiling.
- PK/PD Modeling: Human-like drug metabolism for dose optimization.
- Disease Models: Validated models for metabolic disorders, neuroinflammation, and infectious diseases (e.g., Zika, dengue).
- Biologics & Cell Therapies: ADA/NAb assessment for monoclonal antibodies, CAR-T cells, and AAV vectors.
- Vaccine Development: High-resolution immune profiling for efficacy and adjuvant testing.
