Neuroscience
CRI Lifetree is dedicated to researching disorders of the Central Nervous System which represent the second largest therapeutic area in terms of research and development (R&D) spending by biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and account for more than 15 percent of the global cost of disease treatment. With such a large proportion of R&D resources dedicated to CNS disorders, companies developing products in this field need to choose a research partner with leading CNS expertise to maximize the impact of their investment.
Experts in Cognition Research
CRI Lifetree works with the world’s leading experts in the study of cognition and the cognitive effects of new and emerging compounds. As a result of our long history of working with disease states, CRI Lifetree is uniquely capable of recruiting and retaining these difficult to enroll populations.
More and more, sponsors and partners alike are calling on CRI Lifetree to conduct "cognitive” trials. CRI Lifetree’s database of more than 5,000 disease state subjects allows quick access to reliable study subjects.
In an effort to accurately and efficiently simulate a proper testing environment, CRI Lifetree has the facilities equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and is staffed by expert PhDs and pyschometricians.
