Decision-grade CNS development.
Physician-scientist-led translational systems for neuroscience programs where human relevance matters. We do not sell studies — we de-risk programs.
Most CNS programs do not fail because the biology was wrong.
They fail because translational confidence was insufficient before first human exposure. The problem is not biology. It is translation.
Species mismatch
Rodent circuits don't recapitulate human cortical complexity.
Endpoint mismatch
Behavioral proxies lack translational face validity.
Behavioral ambiguity
Subjective scoring introduces irreproducibility.
Post hoc interpretation
Thresholds defined after the data is reviewed.
No translational continuity
Preclinical endpoints disconnect from human measures.
An integrated translational architecture
Not isolated service lines — a continuous architecture from hypothesis to human.

Not scored — measured. Not interpreted — documented.
- Observer scoring with inter-rater variability
- Behavioral snapshots — episodic, not continuous
- Subjective endpoint calls
- Post hoc QC threshold definition
- Data that collapses under regulatory scrutiny
- Computer-vision phenotyping — continuous, automated
- High-resolution longitudinal behavioral analytics
- Quantitative, auditable digital endpoints
- Pre-locked QC criteria before study initiation

Internationally recognised neuroscience expertise.
Gavalgana's senior scientific and clinical staff are recognised across neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and neuropsychology, with particular depth in movement disorders, neurodegeneration and cognition. Expertise — not infrastructure — is what de-risks a program.
Neuroanatomy
Circuit- and region-level structural mapping.
Neurophysiology
EEG / qEEG telemetry, evoked potentials, sleep staging.
Neuropharmacology
Target engagement, dose rationale, mechanism.
Neuropsychology & cognition
Behavioral and cognitive endpoint design.
Movement disorders
Parkinsonian and dyskinesia phenotyping.
Translational & regulatory medicine
Bench-to-IND evidence strategy.
Expert consultancy
We advise on the design of preclinical and translational programs within our areas of special expertise — the most suitable model systems, scientific endpoints, and protocol design.
Decision-grade research
Laboratory studies run flexibly, from fee-for-service through risk-sharing collaboration, in purpose-built rodent and non-human-primate translational neuroscience facilities.
When the evidence must withstand scrutiny, Gavalgana was built for that moment.
Physician-scientist strategy, decision-grade translational neuroscience, and purposeful NHP systems — for programs where the evidence must hold up. Before the boardroom. Before the agency. Before first human exposure.
