Synthetic Chemical Facility

 


Provides research services for investigators studying the physiological function of neurosteroids in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Neurosteroid compounds and their analogs are synthesized to a high degree of purity for peripheral and central administration to sub-human primates and rodents.
