Central Nervous System Diseases

We are an academic Contract Research Organisation (CRO) devoted to executing clinical trials for CNS diseases in the most effective manner possible. We put science first, and it shows in every trial.

We approach every study with a mindset focused on solving clients’ challenges with tailored solutions and expertise specific to our CNS focus areas: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, and Hearing Loss (ENT).
