Do You Have a Moment? Join Us at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting 2026
Visit Us at Booth #1914
November 14–18 / Washington, DC / Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Accelerate Neuroscience Research from Discovery to Translation
Advancing neuroscience research requires reliable tools that can reveal meaningful biological insights across complex disease models and limited sample volumes. Our portfolio of antibodies, proteins, small molecules, assays and instruments help researchers uncover mechanisms of neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, synaptic function, and CNS disease progression with confidence.
Whether you're developing neural stem cells or 3D models, identifying biomarkers, validating targets, studying pathways, or monitoring treatment response, our solutions help generate high-quality, reproducible data at every stage of the neuroscience workflow.

Featured Presentation
Are Your Neural Models Telling the Full Story? Integrated Solutions for Next Generation Neural Models
In this session, attendees will learn practical strategies to develop and validate stem cell and organoid models. Using iPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic neuron progenitors as a case study, we'll explore approaches to differentiation, characterization, and quality assessment that can generate deeper biological insights. Attendees will gain practical insights for studies of neurological development, disease biology, and therapeutic discovery.
