Summary
The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will include fewer resources being needed for pain behavior studies, and fewer mice being needed. The system that results from this project may reduce the time necessary for experiment completion by 50% and training of researchers from 5-6 months to 1 hour, and reduce waste by producing cleaner data faster, saving money, and assisting in research animal use reduction efforts. The complete automation of the system’s operation could further benefit the ~$3.3B global preclinical pain research market wh
