From idea to execution-ready project

Cartesan helps companies, research teams and institutions design and test interventions, products or hypotheses in the domains of stress resilience, motivation and mental well-being. We contribute where scientific rigor and measurement quality make the difference, either through targeted advisory input or by coordinating and delivering research activities through Cartesan’s resources and trusted collaborators when appropriate.

What cartesan can bring to a project
  • Study framing and design across preclinical and human research (endpoints, feasibility, decision criteria)
  • Advanced behavioral phenotyping in animals and humans, including high-resolution protocols
  • Immersive VR-based paradigms to probe stress reactivity and individual differences (e.g., personality-related traits) with fine-grained behavioral and physiological readouts
  • Multimodal stress measurements, including physiological and brain-related measures, including metabolic ones, and robust analytical pipelines
  • Biomarker strategy and assays using blood and saliva (hormonal and immune messengers), as well as markers of metabolism and mitochondrial function
  • Integrated interpretation linking behavior, physiology and biomarkers into a coherent scientific narrative
