WHO WE ARE

Our worldwide customer base includes leading biopharmaceutical companies in Europe, USA and Japan, ranging from large pharma to startup companies.
THE RATIONALE
Despite the large amount of rodent studies (mice and rats), no effective treatment was discovered to cure chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). One of the underlying reasons for this could be the lack in rodents of a good representation of the spontaneous sensory paresthesia that the patients undergo. Additionally, no-to-limited data are available in rodents with respect to the changes in the axonal excitability under CIPN condition even though this investigational technique is widely used in the clinical setting of peripheral neuropathy.
