Focused on a single goal - to advance human brain health by bold Innovation
Neurxstem has developed a patented synthetic Neural Organoid Platform that is a synthetic mimic of the human central nervous system. It is a novel, first in class platform for studying human brain disease mechanisms and drug discovery, efficacy and safety testing.

NEURXSTEM is a specialty Contract Research Organization business commercializing the most advanced synthetic NEURAL ORGANOID PLATFORM available that mimics the human central nervous system. NEURXSTEM provides a transformational approach for studying human central nervous system disease biology, diagnostic development, and novel therapeutic discovery and development. We demonstrate, using iPSCs derived from skin cells, its utility to detect hallmarks of Alzheimers disease from a patient with APP gene duplication and autism and cancer susceptibility in Tuberous Sclerosis.
