allowing researchers to use “certain alternatives to animal testing, including cell-basedassays and computer models, to obtain an exemption from the FDA to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a drug.” Overall, there are several alternatives to animal testing that can be used in pre-clinical research.
Key techniques include high-throughput screening (HTS), cell-basedassays, and animal models. Cell-BasedAssays In vitro, drug efficacy, and toxicity testing in cell cultures provide valuable preclinical data.
Inspired by her time at GSK, Millie pursued a PhD at the University of Cambridge investigating the signalling pathways that drive cancer cell growth using in-vitro cellbasedassays and biochemical analysis. Driven by an interest in drug discovery Millie joined AstraZeneca after completion of her PhD at the end of 2020.
To this I’d add that we often don’t use the full-length proteins in design and recombinant proteins may have been engineered to make them easier to crystallize or more robust for soaking experiments. Recombinant expression can lead to missing post-translational modifications (e.g.,
Cell-basedassays , while more complex to develop and use, offer another option for characterizing product activity at a slightly higher level, allowing sponsors to measure the further downstream effects of products (e.g., morphological cell changes or alterations in protein production or expression).
