Baboon

Baboons, closely resembling humans in physiology, serve as vital models in various research areas such as neonatal lung disease, atherosclerosis, pregnancy, nutrition, liver disease, brain imaging, epilepsy, and xenotransplantation.

Hamster

Hamsters play a crucial role in various research areas like cancer, reproduction, virology, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases due to their physiological similarities to humans, particularly in lipid metabolism and atherogenesis.

Fruit Fly

Fruit flies have helped to develop drugs designed to treat a range of diseases from skin infections and genetic disorders to pneumonia, and meningitis. Some of the recent research with fruit flies has focused on understanding Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, spastic paraplegia, cancer, obesity and insomnia.

Marmoset

The common marmoset, due to its size and similarities with humans, is crucial in safety, reproductive biology, neuroscience, and drug development studies. In multiple sclerosis research, its immunological likeness aids therapy development.

Titi Monkey

Titi monkeys, with their unique capacity for social attachment, are pivotal in studying neurotransmitters' role in attachment biology. Their involvement in visualizing oxytocin receptors aids research in autism spectrum disorder due to biological similarities to humans.
