Our Story

Sparian was co-founded by Gavril Pasternak, MD PhD and Jeff Reich, MD after the Pasternak Lab discovered a novel new analgesic (e.g. pain killer). What sets this new drug apart from current drugs is that it’s stronger than what’s out there, while reducing adverse side effects.

Through groundbreaking research, innovative thinking and expert collaboration, our company feels we could change the way CNS diseases are treated on a global scale.
