Contract Preclinical Research Organisation

Pain

Cerebrasol has established expertise in delivering first class preclinical translational research into pain, particularly around the development of new treatments into neuropathic and inflammatory pain.

Our track record can be demonstrated in our manuscript publications and our key strength is in developing precisely tailored research packages to target out client’s needs. Whether through using in vitro or in vivo electrophysiological approaches to establish mechanism, using whole animal behavior in one of our many pain models to screen compounds, or using molecular biology techniques to better understand function, our research teams will provide expert consultancy in putting together the study proposal you require, and our investigators will then rapidly deliver data of the highest quality to drive forward your research programs.
