Peer-Reviewed
Publications

Open access, peer-reviewed publications ensure that knowledge is a public good. HESI believes that accessible research is critical for equitable engagement, diverse collaboration, and increased interdisciplinary conversation. We strive to achieve open access on all publications, and more than 200 publications from HESI programs have been published in the last decade.

The benefits, limitations and opportunities of preclinical models for neonatal drug development

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022

Sarah Campion, Amy Inselman, Belinda Hayes, Costanza Casiraghi, ...

Increased research to improve preclinical models to inform the development of therapeutics for neonatal diseases is an area of great need. This article reviews five common neonatal diseases – bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, perinatal hypoxic–ischemic ...

The Challenges of Predicting Drug-Induced QTc Prolongation in Humans

Toxicological Sciences, 2022

Jean-Pierre Valentin, Peter Hoffmann, Catherine Ortemann-Renon, ...

New publication in Toxicological Sciences by the HESI Cardiac Safety Committee shows that nonclinical models used to predict cardiac safety during drug development do not absolutely replicate the clinical conditions; however, best practices can be used to improve the nonclinical assay quality and achieve the ...

The COMPARE Database: A Public Resource for Allergen Identification, Adapted for Continuous Improvement

Frontiers in Allergy, 2021

van Ree R, Ballerda DS, Berin MC, Beuf L, Chang A, Gadermaier G, ...

The availability of databases identifying allergenic proteins via a transparent and consensus-based scientific approach is of prime importance to support the safety review of genetically-modified foods and feeds, and public safety in general. Over recent years, screening for potential new allergens sequences has become ...

The Comprehensive in Vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative — Update on progress

Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2016

Colatsky T, Fermini B, Gintant G, Pierson J, Sager P, Sekino Y, ...
  • HESI - Health and Environmental Sciences Institute

The implementation of the ICH S7B and E14 guidelines has been successful in preventing the introduction of potentially torsadogenic drugs to the market, but it has also unduly constrained drug development by focusing on hERG block and QT prolongation as essential determinants of proarrhythmia risk.
