What is Neurotar Ltd? We are a privately owned contract research organization (CRO), which provides small animal imaging services based on in vivo two-photon microscopy to Biotech and Pharmaceutical companies, CROs and research groups.
What is Neurotar’s core competence? It is our use of in vivo two-photon (a.k.a. multiphoton) microscopy in application primarily to CNS diseases and skin conditions.
Why is Neurotar special? Our competitive advantage is based on our team and SAB members' extensive scientific expertise and know-how, on our in-house state-of-the-art equipment and pioneer role in commercializing two-photon imaging services.
What are the advantages of two-photon imaging? Significantly better resolution compared to conventional imaging technologies and greater relevance compared to in vitro microscopy.
When is two-photon imaging used and for which indications? It is best applied at the target validation and lead optimization stages in the preclinical drug discovery and development process, and in clinical trials on skin-related indications. The most common applications include neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's, MS, ALS, HD), pain (migraine, neuropathic pain), stroke, epilepsy, autism, meningitis, spinal cord injury, TBI, schizophrenia, skin disorders, oncology (brain or skin tumors, metastases), drug delivery, immunology, inflammation, 3D cultures.
What are the Client benefits? Considerable time and money savings achieved through increased predictive power of preclinical tests; dramatically reduced number of experimental animals required to achieve statistically significant results and resulting compliance with the Principle of replacement, reduction and refinement of the EU parliament directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes and the same principles of the US Department of Agriculture Animal Welfare Act.
How does Neurotar aid decision-making while reducing the number of tests? Detailed visualization of the areas of interest, simultaneous measurement of multiple correlated parameters in vivo, repeated examination of the same animal over time (minutes to weeks) and use of the same animal as its own control yield information-rich results and lead toward better informed decision-making.
Why don’t other CRO companies offer such services? In vivo two-photon microscopy is a relatively new technique, which requires access to expensive equipment and highly trained personnel. We have both.
