600 S. Paulina St. Chicago, IL, 60612 United StatesThe Live Animal Imaging Core uses the IVIS Lumina II imaging system, which allows monitoring of cellular activity (quantitative) through bioluminescent or fluorescent reporters in live mice or rats. This system can identify tumor development in studies aimed at dissecting the molecular genetics of several types of cancer using mouse or rat models. The imaging system allows the use of a smaller cohort of animals for the research as animals do not need to be sacrificed to ascertain the presence of tumor lesions. The system offers noninvasive longitudinal monitoring of the following: Disease progression (e.g., tumor progression and metastasis) Tumor response and recurrence Cell trafficking and gene expression patterns in living animals Drug metabolism genes due to either the parent molecule or its metabolites A potentially greater use of this imaging system is in translational research involving therapeutic trials using animal models for disease. It is hypothesized that compounds with demonstrated efficacy on tumors developed in situ in animal models will have a higher success rate after translation to the clinic, as these scenarios will more faithfully recapitulate the conditions under which human tumors grow. The ability to image tumors in situ rapidly and with high sensitivity using the IVIS imaging system, and the correlation between tumor size and the amount of emitted light, indicate that the IVIS imaging system provides a mechanism to rapidly evaluate potential therapeutic compounds. The imaging system can be likewise applied to any other disease state in which disease burden can be quantified (e.g. the number of bacteria in the systemic circulation). Other important applications include the following: Infectious disease Inflammation Gene therapy Stem cell biology Cardiovascular disease Immunology Transplantation biology

Site Information
The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to help. You can find our FAQs and contact information on the Learn more page.
Interested in connecting with one or more of the contract research organizations listed on this map? By clicking on the company’s name, you will be directed to their supplier profile on the Scientist.com marketplace. Once you set up a marketplace account you can start the ordering process immediately.
