Have you considered asking for this thesis advice the Effective Thesis? They probably can connect you w/ someone w/ a background in this area.
[Below are my (totally optional) thoughts on this (and I’m only a software engineer working in a genomic research institute w/ no formal biomed background):] I would think that (ethically approved) studies on humans are more useful in general, as they translate better to other humans. Also, the more we try to reduce and substitute non-human animal experimentations w/ alternatives, the more there is incentive to develop these alternatives. I must admit though that I’m “biased”, as I consider non-human animal suffering no less urgent than equivalent suffering of humans, other things being equal.
