Overview
NeuroProof is a neuroscience-focused CRO based in Göttingen, Germany, offering specialized pre-clinical screening services. Its core platform combines Microelectrode Array (MEA) recordings of neuronal network activity with advanced data analysis and pattern recognition to model neurological diseases and assess compound effects. The company serves pharmaceutical and biotech clients by providing phenotypic assays, neurotoxicity evaluations, and custom disease models, primarily using iPSC-derived neurons, to accelerate CNS drug development and reduce reliance on animal testing.
Technology Platform
Microelectrode Array (MEA) neurochips for recording neuronal network activity, combined with AI/ML-driven spike train analysis and hyperexcitation pattern recognition. Utilizes primary rodent neurons and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons for functional phenotypic screening.

Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
NeuroProof competes with other specialized electrophysiology CROs (e.g., Axion BioSystems' service division, Ncardia's services) and broader neuroscience CROs that offer molecular and cellular assays. Its key differentiator is the integrated combination of MEA, human iPSC-derived neurons, and proprietary AI-based analysis focused on network-level phenotypes.
