CRO Solutions for Cardiovascular Diseases
Advance cardiovascular drug development with integrated preclinical solutions combining disease-relevant models, in vivo studies, and in vitro capabilities to generate translational evidence from discovery through IND-enabling development.
Cardiovascular Drug Development Solutions
Cyagen provides integrated preclinical CRO solutions for cardiovascular disease research
and drug development, supporting programs in atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, heart failure,
myocardial infarction, cardiac fibrosis, and vascular disorders. Our capabilities combine validated
cardiovascular animal models with customized in vivo and in vitro studies to evaluate disease mechanisms,
therapeutic efficacy, pharmacodynamic responses, cardiac function, vascular pathology, and relevant biomarkers.
From target validation and model selection to efficacy studies and IND-enabling research, Cyagen helps generate
translational data to advance cardiovascular therapeutics toward clinical development.

Custom Induction-Based Models
For studies requiring tailored disease phenotypes, Cyagen provides custom
induction-based cardiovascular models, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) models. Induction protocols and study designs can be adapted to specific research
objectives, supporting disease mechanism studies, pharmacology, and therapeutic evaluation.
Ready-to-Use Cardiovascular Disease Models
Cyagen offers a broad range of ready-to-use cardiovascular and cardiometabolic
mouse models, including high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity models, target-humanized models,
humanized point mutation models, and other genetically engineered models. By providing established
model options across different disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets, these models enable
researchers to move more efficiently into pharmacology and efficacy studies without starting model
development from scratch.

In Vitro Cardiovascular Drug Discovery & Mechanistic Studies
Cyagen supports cardiovascular drug discovery with in vitro platforms for
target-based screening, biomarker profiling, and mechanism-of-action studies. These capabilities
enable evaluation of cardiovascular targets, signaling pathways, inflammatory responses, and
cardiorenal mechanisms, helping researchers characterize therapeutic activity and generate
mechanistic evidence before advancing candidates into in vivo studies.
Target-Based Drug Screening
- PCSK9 functional and inhibition assays
- Factor Xa activity and inhibition assays
- PPAR-α/γ activity assays
- 11β-HSD inhibition assays
Cardiovascular Biomarker Profiling
- Inflammatory cytokine profiling using MSD, Luminex, and ELISA
- Inflammatory and vascular biomarkers
- Lipid-related biomarkers
- Cardiac injury or remodeling biomarkers
Cellular Models for Mechanistic Studies
- Renal epithelial and mesangial cell models for cardiorenal research
- cAMP signaling assays for cardiovascular target and pathway evaluation
