Our Translational Research Platform for Neurological Disease
SBH SCIENCESNeurological Disease Research Center
We partner with industry and academic institutions to support drug development across a broad range of neuroodegenerative disorders by providing comprehensive disease modeling state-of-the-art functional assays, and biomarker discovery and development services.
Our In-Vitro Models, Biomarker Platforms, and Functional Assays
We have developed a platform of functional assays in a growing range of in vitro models to support drug development programs for key indications in neurodegenerative disease drug development including:
- Cognitive-Dominant Neurodegenerative Disorders
- Movement-Dominant Neurodegenerative Disorders
- Motor Neuron Diseases
- Inflammatory Neurodegeneration
- Rare and Genetic Neurodegenerative Disorders
