NEUROSCIENCE CLINICAL RESEARCH
With millions of patients worldwide affected by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, biopharmaceutical companies face significant challenges in drug development, including complex target identification, data variability and the need for sensitive, validated biomarkers. Often, neuroscience-related drug trials demand partnerships with specialty laboratories to stay on track.
At MLM Medical Labs, we provide specialty and central laboratory services for complex global trials, including neuroscience clinical trials. Whether you are in preclinical or Phase IV, our team of experts can support you with strategic study planning, intuitive platforms and comprehensive biomarker testing capabilities.
Specialty Lab and Neuroscience Assay Services
We tailor our services to your research needs, ensuring seamless integration with your processes throughout the drug development journey. As a specialty laboratory offering end-to-end support, our neurology research services include:
Ensure your clinical trial is designed for successful execution with our study planning and management services. Our team of experts in neurodegeneration biomarkers and assays will collaborate with you to develop a study built upon scientific rigor and efficiency. Our setup service includes designing custom sample collection kits, like specialized kits for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection, and user-friendly lab manuals.
We offer a wide range of assays to quantify neurodegenerative biomarkers in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood, including the FDA-cleared Lumipulse® G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test, beta-amyloid 42 in CSF² or plasma², beta-amyloid 40 in CSF² or plasma², p-tau181 in CSF², total tau in CSF², and neurofilament light chain (NfL). We also analyze biomarkers related to neuroinflammation, like glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).
Using techniques like ELISA, platforms like Lumipulse and Meso Scale Discovery, multiplex immunoassays and qPCR, we accurately quantify neurodegenerative biomarkers and assess your drug’s efficacy and safety. If your trial requires tailored solutions, our team can efficiently develop and validate custom, standardized assays to ensure reliable and reproducible results.
Our sample management system safeguards the integrity of your samples from collection through analysis. We maintain a full chain of custody with complete traceability of your samples at all times.
Shipments are kept within temperature-controlled solutions, and we can continually monitor samples at your request. Working closely with trusted global logistics providers, we’ll ensure your samples are handled safely at locations throughout the world.
Simplify accessing, managing and transferring laboratory data securely and compliantly. With our secure and intuitive web-based portal, mlm online®, you can access real-time lab data and kit inventory to make quick and informed decisions. Alternatively, we can transfer data to your preferred database in real time or at regular intervals.
