The Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA) is a prominent research institution located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. Established in 1952, the CIEA is dedicated to the advancement of biomedical research through the development and use of animal models. The institute is renowned for its contributions to the field of translational research, bridging the gap between basic research and clinical applications.
History[edit]
The CIEA was founded by Dr. Tatsuji Nomura, a pioneer in the field of experimental animal research. The institute was established with the mission to improve human health by providing high-quality animal models for scientific research. Over the decades, the CIEA has played a crucial role in the development of various genetically modified organisms and has contributed significantly to the understanding of human diseases.
Research and Development[edit]
The CIEA is involved in a wide range of research activities, focusing on the development of animal models that mimic human diseases. These models are essential for studying the pathophysiology of diseases and for testing new therapeutic interventions.
Genetically Modified Animals[edit]
One of the key areas of research at the CIEA is the creation of genetically modified animals. The institute has developed several transgenic and knockout mouse models that are used worldwide in biomedical research. These models have been instrumental in studying diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Immunodeficient Animals[edit]
The CIEA is also known for its work on immunodeficient animals, which are crucial for research in immunology and infectious diseases. These animals allow researchers to study the immune system and to develop new vaccines and therapies.
Facilities[edit]
The CIEA boasts state-of-the-art facilities that support a wide range of research activities. The institute is equipped with advanced laboratories for molecular biology, genomics, and proteomics. It also has specialized facilities for the breeding and maintenance of various animal models.
Collaborations[edit]
