E-Phys is an independent CRO specializing in electrophysiology in anesthetized rodents for the development of analgesic drug, founded in 2012 and based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. E-Phys can be considered a legacy of the in vivo electrophysiology group of the late (2011) Pfizer Global Research and Development based in Sandwich, UK.
The founder, Julien Allard, was initially graduated as a biochemist (1991, INSA, Lyon, France), that was followed by a Master and a PhD in Pharmacology and Neurosciences (1999, Université René Descartes, Paris, France). Julien Allard started his career in electrophysiology at Pfizer in 2008. He has largely passed the some-consider-it-to-be-a-landmark-for-expertise 10 000 h over the bench of single-unit recordings in anesthetized rodents since.
Julien Allard is an avid electrophysiologist, and a passionate angler. Here with an equatorial trevally (Caranx hippos- released after pic).
