One such issue is testing of how drugs are absorbed by body’s gastrointestinal system, which currently involves using unwilling live animals and then willing human patients in very expensive and time consuming pre-clinical and clinical trials. A new device developed at University of Huddersfield in England replicates some aspects of the human gut in order to simulate how a proposed medication will absorb into the body.

URL https://thejupital.com/intestinal-breakthrough/ Persons Hamid Merchant Title Gut simulator could bring down the costs of drug development Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet New Atlas Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 1/04/14 Description Before drugs are tested on humans, they first go through pre-clinical tests on animals. Because humans and animals don't have identical gastrointestinal tracts, however, the way in which the drugs are absorbed by the body often differs between the two. A scientist from the UK's University of Huddersfield hopes to address that discrepancy, with his "gut simulator."
