Get Started

Welcome to the MODEL-AD Documentation site!

This site exists to help orient you to the procedures related to contributing information about your MODEL-AD research studies (eg, mouse models, metadata, and data). The goal is to standardize the process of characterizing animal models, establish guidelines for preclinical testing, and ensure the availability of animal models, protocols, and validated data to all researchers for drug development.
