Our team is comprised of experts with years of scientific experience in specialized fields in toxicology, pathology, neurosciences, neuroendocrinology, biostatistics, epidemiology, metabolism, environmental fate & effects, and complex human health and environmental risk assessments.
Neuroendocrinology
Neuroanatomy
Connectomics
Cell Physiology
We are leaders in research on hypothalamo-pituitary control of adrenal, gonadal, thyroid hormone release and their effects on target organs.
-
Energy homeostasis
Neurodegenerative
Disease
We are experts in neuroendocrinological aging. Our research models of cardiovascular (stroke) and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease) have provided insight in the etiology of these diseases. The principals of QS3 hold 38 patents on innovative treatments aimed at ameliorating symptoms associated with neurodegenerative diseases and other medical conditions.
Reproduction
and Development
We are experts in neuroendocrine processes involved in mating, reproduction, in utero and post-natal development including the control of puberty onset in rodents, non-human primates and man.
Toxicology
Pharmacology
Metabolism, Kinetics
Risk Assessment
We have decades of experience conducting “pre-clinical” safety studies on pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals and pesticides. We have investigated all routes of administration (oral, dermal, iv, ip, inhalation) in acute, sub-chronic, developmental, reproductive, chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity animal models.
We have conducted metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies and carried out comprehensive human risk assessments - integrated into weight-of-the-evidence frameworks.
Environmental
Science
We have expertise in exposure & effects determination, exposure modelling, geospatial analyses, the conduct of environmental surveys and use of probabilistic and stochastic methods in multivariate risk assessment.
