Galenea receives two SBIR grants to develop treatments for schizophrenia

The first grant entitled ‘In Vitro Tools for Preclinical Analysis of Cognitive Therapies for Schizophrenia’ for the development of preclinical assays that accurately model human cognitive processes.

Galenea will use this technology to evaluate the desired electrophysiological effects of novel pro-cognitive therapeutic candidates on cortical neural networks for schizophrenia.

A second grant entitled ‘Novel Serotonergic, Pro-Cognitive Antipsychotic Therapies’ will support Galenea’s ongoing small molecule schizophrenia drug discovery program.
