Target & mechanism
Define the disease mechanism and translational objective a candidate is designed to address.
LEWOS BIOTECHNOLOGYNEUROSCIENCE · PRECLINICAL CROExplore · Discover · AdvanceA next-generation neuroscience CRO partner
From target mechanism and disease models to delivery and multidimensional endpoints, we build preclinical evidence that can be tested, interpreted and advanced.
Translate four scientific questions—cause, mechanism, manifestation and treatment choice—into target, model, endpoint and dosing decisions.
PhD-led · Co-designed · Interpreted togetherDefine the disease mechanism and translational objective a candidate is designed to address.
Match disease stage, animal background and intervention window.
Combine behavioral, molecular, histology, imaging and electrophysiology readouts.
Design the route, dose frequency and tissue-distribution validation.
From disease mechanisms and model building to CNS delivery, efficacy endpoints and multidimensional validation, we support the next decision for each candidate.
Neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, psychiatric disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and related CNS indications.
CCI, SNL and SNI models combined with mechanical, thermal and cold pain, histology and molecular endpoints.
Delivery evaluation for anti-human TfR1 antibodies, bispecifics, AOCs, ADCs and other protein therapeutics.
