CopyRat Pty Ltd was established in August 2000 with the aim of becoming a world leading supplier of rat and cellular models of human disease to the biomedical industry and the academic community for medical research.
CopyRat, located in Melbourne, Australia, is a spin out of Monash University, one of the world's leading research institutions in embryology and stem cell research.
CopyRat has exclusive rights to intellectual property and know-how developed by Monash University in the areas of rat embryology and rat stem cells.
The rat is a small, low-cost animal with a short gestation period. The size of the animal allows for measurement of many physiological parameters that are not possible in its smaller relative, the mouse. As such, the rat has long been the model of choice for the biomedical industry, as well as being extensively studied by scientists for a wide range of complex diseases.
Currently, a serious limitation to the use of the rat model for research has been the lack of technology to enable its genetic modification. CopyRat recognises the development of this technology is essential to produce rat models of human diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory and neurological disorders. Once developed, the rat models will play a critical role in the future development of improved treatments for these diseases.
