Animal Models a living organisms in which normative biology or behavior can be studied, or in which a spontaneous or induced pathological process can be investigated, and in which the phenomenon in one or more respects resembles the same phenomenon in humans or other species of animal.
The 95% failure rate of anticancer therapeutic being approved after positive Phase III trials suggests that existing pre-clinical approaches and tools are inadequate predictors of clinical ou...
