Why is the rat telemetry assay a useful tool in safety pharmacology studies?
Animal models are used in the discovery of new drugs and vaccines used to treat human diseases. In addition to helping test drug efficacy, studies in laboratory animals are also used to help determine what unwanted effects the drug may have. These safety studies enable developers to deselect candidate molecules with associated hazards and ensure only those with better safety profiles are progressed into human clinical trials.
What is Telemetry?
Telemetry is the science or process of making measurements from objects at a distance via transmission of information back to receiving equipment.
It is derived from the Greek words ‘tele’, meaning remote, and ‘metron’, meaning measure. Telemetry is used across a wide range of industries, including space science, agriculture, motor racing, meteorology and environmental monitoring.
