Our CRO services in NASH

Accelerate your drug development by exploring clinical endpoints in our
validated and biopsy-confirmed mouse models of NASH

Gubra DIO-NASH model

  • Wild-type C57BL/6J mice offered a diet high in fat, fructose and cholesterol for ≥28 weeks
  • Biopsy-confirmed hepatosteatosis and fibrosis
  • Moderate metabolic disease
  • Clinical histopathological scoring (pre-to-post)

AI-assisted NASH histopathology using GHOST

At Gubra, we have developed the deep learning-based app GHOST (Gubra Histopathological Objective Scoring Technology) to automatically perform complete NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) and Fibrosis Staging in liver biopsies with additional quantitative metrics.

Gubra in vivo study approach

Our DIO-NASH mice are always ready and available for rapid onset of efficacy studies.

Pre- and post-liver biopsies allow for stratification of disease severity at baseline and improves detection of drug treatment efficacy.

All animals enrolled into study groups demonstrate histology-proven hepatosteatosis and fibrosis.
