Exploring the Root Causes of Pain
Along with our academic partners, our mission is to investigate and treat the phylogenetic roots of pain.
Therapeutic Applications
Dozens of sickle cell patients were recently cured, along with their pain symptoms. Such therapies can revolutionize the way we treat unnecessary pain and suffering caused by many diseases, including pain itself, without the risk of addiction.
Millions of genetically engineered mice in labs can be replaced with those who experience less distress. This can also reduce the number used and improve the reliability of experimental results.
Selective breeding can be repurposed to improve emotional welfare. This is critical given that 70 billion terrestrial domestic animals are born each year. Despite interest in alternatives, the global demand for animal products continues to rise.
