Start-to End Preclinical Neurobiology Service
We aim to be your trusted partner in advancing solutions for neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases. Our extensive preclinical experience enables us to select the most suitable animal models, administer a diverse range of drug candidates, and employ assays that effectively validate your hypothesis in vivo.
SPEAK TO A SCIENTIST
BOOK A MEETINGFrom the initial stages of collaboration, our approach provides the resources necessary to propel your novel therapies toward meaningful advancements in human health. Our role is to de-risk and simplify your research, helping you reach breakthrough results efficiently.
We specialize in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Huntington’s Disease, Ataxia, and Rett Syndrome, and have deep knowledge in rodent models of these diseases including (not limited to) the following 6 mouse models:
- Tg/Tg
- Atxn1−/−
- BACHD
- YAC128
- FXNYG8Pook/800J
- B6.129P2(C)-Mecp2tm1.1Bird/J
With our expertise, we can successfully deliver various classes of drug candidates and their associated delivery vehicles:
Drug Candidate Classes:
- DNA
- RNA
- Protein
- Small molecules
Delivery Vehicles:
- AAV (Adeno-Associated Virus)
- Lentivirus
- LNP (Lipid Nanoparticles)
Delivery Routes:
- Intraparenchymal
