Black Box

Blackbox Bio is a private life-science tools company developing automated in vivo behavioral analysis systems for preclinical research. Its products combine hardware, sensing, and machine-learning software to quantify rodent gait, posture, weight bearing, and other behaviors in a high-throughput and reproducible manner. The company markets the Blackbox One and Blackbox Two platforms together with its palmReader analytics software to support animal-model studies in pain, orthopedics, neuroscience, neurodegeneration, muscle disorders, and spinal cord injury. Rather than developing therapeutics, Blackbox Bio provides enabling research technology intended to improve preclinical phenotyping and translational decision-making for drug discovery and academic laboratories.
