About Neuro-Zone

Neuro-Zone is a functional service company supporting drug discovery and preclinical research in the fields of age-related pathologies and inflammation.

We support biotech and pharma during all stages of preclinical drug discovery and development, from the screening of chemical libraries to the validation of candidate compounds and repurposed drugs.

Thanks to our deep scientific knowledge, we have developed a constantly growing portfolio of cell-based pathology-specific platforms and combined it with a smart technological approach. Our platforms provide multiparametric analysis readouts, with a particular focus on complex disease scenarios where intercellular cross-talks and the microenvironment play a major role.

Acting as an outsourced high-quality laboratory, we build a constant scientific interconnection with our partners, understanding their biological needs and providing customized solutions, from project layout to experimental execution, data analysis, and interpretation.

By increasing the quality of cell-based assays Neuro-zone enables more efficient and informative preclinical programs.
