Enabling Breakthroughs in CNS and Behavioral Research

Built for the practical demands of neuroscience R&D, Mispro provides controlled, compliant contract vivarium environments with integrated husbandry, veterinary care, and regulatory oversight services. Scientists maintain direct control of study design and execution while generating reproducible in vivo data that informs early development decisions in neurology, psychiatry, and substance use disorder research.

Across our network of AAALAC-accredited contract vivarium facilities, neuroscience-focused biotech teams can conduct non-GLP rodent studies supporting target validation, disease modeling, neuropharmacology, and behavioral outcomes in CNS drug discovery.

Mispro’s research environments support a wide range of CNS and behavioral study designs, including:

  • Behavioral assays and cognitive function studies
  • Neuropharmacology and dose response studies for CNS therapeutics
  • Disease modeling for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders
  • Addiction and substance use disorder behavioral paradigms

Vivarium infrastructure and operational support designed to replace build and outsource models:

  • Private holding and procedure room options, including dedicated private suites suitable for behavioral testing setups
  • Rooms outfitted with essential equipment for safe and stable animal studies, including IVC racks and caging systems and biosafety cabinets
  • Procedure rooms with sufficient space for behavioral apparatus, monitoring systems, and specialized neuroscience equipment
  • 365-day animal husbandry, health monitoring, and veterinary oversight ensuring consistent observation and care for animals enrolled in CNS and behavioral studies
We chose Mispro instead of building our own facility. The result has been accelerated timelines, confidence in data, and a clear path to clinical. Being able to focus on our research instead of also running and staffing a vivarium facility was the right choice for our company.

CNS and Behavioral Research Areas Supported

Mispro’s contract vivarium environments support preclinical in vivo research across a wide range of neurological and behavioral disease areas, including:

  • Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS
