Ace Therapeutics has been focusing on the development and optimization of animal models of psychiatric diseases for many years, and has established an excellent research platform for the development of antipsychotic drugs. We are committed to providing customized services for autism animal models for mental disease research, helping researchers to achieve their research goals smoothly.

Introduction of Autism Animal Models

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) include common, impairing neurodevelopmental disorders that are present from early childhood and occur in approximately 1% of the population. Many ASD-related studies cannot be directly applied to humans due to technical or ethical constraints. Animal models provide preclinical tools to understand the role of genetic mutations and environmental factors in producing autism diagnoses and associated symptoms. Currently, mice with targeted mutations in homologous genes have been generated as translational research tools. Mouse models of autism can be used to reveal the behavioral and biological consequences of risk gene mutations.

Animal Modeling Services for Autism

Ace Therapeutics has many years of experience in psychiatric disease research and a mature animal research and development platform. We have established a variety of animal models of autism by mutating homologous genes in experimental animals, and these models can be used to analyze the role of many genetic abnormalities in the etiology and symptomology of autism spectrum disorder. Depending on your research goals, we can provide animal models for behavioral analysis associated with specific symptoms to help you identify the biological mechanisms behind core features of autism spectrum disorder.
