Products
Adult rare epilepsy patient registry
A disease-specific register to identify and match adult participants with rare monogenic epilepsies for clinical trials and research; supports cohort identification and stratified recruitment.
Paediatric neurogenetic patient registry
A paediatric register to support matching of children with rare neurogenetic conditions to clinical trials and research studies; enables rapid trial readiness in rare diseases.
microRNA-targeting therapeutic discovery (preclinical)
Preclinical discovery and evaluation of microRNA regulators of neuronal excitability and gene-delivery approaches to modulate microRNA expression in animal models.
Precision ALS multi-modal trial platform
An international multi-modal platform to enable stratified ALS clinical trials by integrating clinical phenotype, biomarkers and multi-site data harmonisation.
Caregiver quality-of-life predictive model (ALS)
A proof-of-concept predictive model developed using registry and longitudinal interview data to identify caregivers at risk of low quality of life; includes use of explainable AI methods to support clinical interpretation.
