The LPL-01™ Standard
La Petite Labs is guided by the LPL-01™ standard — a systems-based framework developed by our founding research team with backgrounds in neuroscience research, nutrition science, and computer science at Swarthmore College, Stanford University, and Yale University.
Our work is structured through this documented, transparent framework and continuously reviewed by independent veterinary and scientific contributors including DVMs and pharmacology PhDs.
