Electrophysiology
We're here to support your research with our electrophysiology expertise.
We can help formulate, design and execute electrophysiological experiments to resolve the functional physiological aspects within your research projects. We also offer training and support to researchers, allowing them to conduct experiments independently. Finally, for experimental research approaches not currently available, we will expedite collaborations with external labs and assist as intermediate spokesperson.
