With the worldwide increase of certain disease conditions, particularly metabolic and cardiovascular, the need for new ways to explore the mechanism of disease has become paramount. Charles River's Disease Models Program is designed to seek out, introduce, and make available rodent models of common human diseases. The current focus of the program is on four disease areas: cardiovascular, metabolism, renal, and oncology.

In certain cases, the phenotype is expressed or enhanced when the animal is fed a specific diet. With our preconditioning services, you can purchase your animals ready to use and save valuable laboratory space for your actual study. During the preconditioning period, various phenotypic parameters can be measured and recorded on an “as needed” basis. In addition, surgical manipulations can be performed on the animals as part of the preconditioning process.
